Information

Information is our most precious resource, limited only by the constraints of human intelligence, innovation and imagination.

However, like most resources, it is not shared equally.

I would like to see full and free sharing of information and knowledge, across all sectors and borders, guided by the shared values and unversal language of human rights.

-- Mary Robinson, Former president of Ireland


Being a former librarian, and now teaching the information studies courses, I understand that it is a long to go for any one who works in the library and information field to achieve the goal of Mary Robinson.

Nevertheless, I think with our (anyone who possess valuable information and knowledge) collective efforts, we can close the gap and make free sharing of information and knowledge, across all sectors and borders possible!
