Library information services supporting human rights.
Our world is in turmoil. People from different countries and heritage backgrounds are in need of library services supporting human rights. The information seeking process is driven by major life transitions such as violence against women and human rights violations. People around the world are suffering from restrictions and censorship of their basic life rights that we take for granted. REFORMA is presenting an online event to discuss actionable ways in which librarians can support information needs for people experiencing these situations.
