Librarians
Librarians play a crucial role in developing and emerging countries, both in promoting access to information and in supporting their user communities. INASP works closely with this community to strengthen existing skills and capacity to access, use and disseminate information.
INASP supports networks and associations through enabling skills training workshops, and by assisting in gaining access to online and other information.
