Human Rights Library in Georgia asks for help

Dear colleagues,

In 16 May of 1996 the Georgian Parliament adopted the law about the Public Defender of Georgia. In October 1997 the Parliament confirmed David Salaridze as a Public Defender of Georgia. The office of the Public Defender started to work in 4 January of 1998.

In January 1999 the UN Development Programme started four year project: "The assistance of the Public Defender's Office of Georgia". The donors are: The OON Development Programm, SIDA, Danish Centre of Human Rights.

The UN Development Programme includes the establishment of the Human Rights Library and the Informational-documentalistic Centre Of the Public Defender's Office. The Centre must fulfil the Library and Information service in the sphere of the Human Rights. The Library and the Informational-documentalistic Centre will serve the Public Defender's Office, the State Structures, NGOs, any citizen of Georgia.

The library must put into practice (fulfil) the informational relations with the other libraries, informational-documentalistic centres and with the national or international organizations in order to change with the library information.

We have the first steps in this way. We have not such practice in Georgia and it is not easy for us to find someone, who can help in this way. We request you to help us to work out this problem or at least to point, who can give us the necessary information about the similiar centres.

For the further better work of the library, we request you, if you have, to send all the international regulative Normative Acts of libraries, all the publications on Russian language, or to point us the adresses where we can buy them.

Sincerely,

Rusudan Gujabidze
