Produktbeschreibung

This book, "Information for All and Rural Communities" enlightens you on the various innovative initiatives in developing viable libraries and information services in rural Zimbabwe. Donkey drawn mobile libraries, some with access to ICTs are covered in this publication. Based on his over 25 years of experience in developing rural libraries and information resource centres, Obadiah Moyo reveals the power of information in transforming lives. Students have taken advantage of these libraries created by the Rural Libraries and Resources Development Programme to excel in their school work. School leavers also benefited by studying and re-enrolling the subjects they failed at formal school. This book is also testimony to the empowerment of rural women, some with as little as few years of primary education, went back to informal school through use of rural libraries. They were able to achieve their life-time dream of not only learning to read and write, but also to achieve academic excellence. Some are now holders of Ordinary Level certificates with good passes. The book also highlights how community based income generating projects have benefited from the relevant literature.
