>Downloadable from: www.oxfam.ca/publications/sharingknowledge.htm
>This handbook is derived from hours of discussion and exchange, during
>workshops and symposia on information, knowledge and community
>development in the Horn of Africa. The handbook has been prepared for
>men and women working in villages, towns and rural areas who want to
>start a community information resource centre. It is not designed for
>librarians and those with information management skills. Rather it is a
>tool (instrument) for those at the grassroots. They will learn about
>information, knowledge and development. They will also learn to
>identify, collect and provide access to the information that assists and
>supports community transformation.

>Information management for development organizations by Mike Powell
>(2003) 192pp, ISBN 0 85598 483 X GBP 10.95/$17.95.

>This book introduces tools to analyse how information is used in an
>organisation. It discusses both strategic and practical options for
>improvements in the context of the broader information-related changes
>and debates currently taking place in the world. This is the second and
>considerably revised edition of a book previously published in 1998. The
>aim remains the same: to strengthen the effectiveness of development
>organisations and their interaction with the communities which they aim
>to serve. A order form for this publication comprises the attached file.

>Best wishes,
