A virtual library bringing together 1150 documents from 650 authors dealing with legal, societal and technological issues of the Information Society that was developed following a joint initiative of UNITAR and UNESCO with financial support from several international organization is now free of charge available.
A French and an English version both treating the same topics with different sources is considered as a toolbox or a sort of bilingual ICT Encyclopaedia, that addresses the challenges of the Information Society with the its uneven distribution of technological innovations and ICTs that has created a digital divide among countries and regions, overlapping with already existing inequalities.
The objective of the CD-Rom is to offer its users a comprehensive introduction to the field of ICTs. And to provide texts ranging from addressing the digital divide to developing Information Infrastructure, including the building of a legal framework or issues such as e-Development, e-Communities and e-Democracy.
An improved and updated edition is planned to be prepared for the World Summit on the Information Society (Geneva, Switzerland. 10-13 December; 2003; Tunis, Tunisia, 2005)
More information on the project can be obtained at UNITAR (Birgit Vohl (birgit.viohl@unitar.org) and Pascal Renaud (p.renaud@unitar.org)).
