Resource Centre Manual: How to Set Up and Manage a Resource Centre


Publication Date

October 20, 2003

Summary

This manual is designed for health and disability workers planning to set up and develop a resource centre within resource-poor communities around the world, and is aimed toward people operating on a limited budget. Healthlink Worldwide uses this manual to support its workshops for organisations setting up resource centres in developing countries.

Written in English with illustrations and diagrams, the manual provides readers with tried-and-tested tips, examples, checklists and resource lists. According to Healthlink Worldwide, it can be used for reference, training or to aid the development of information services, and is presented in a ring-binder for ease of reference and updating.

In this second edition, key areas have been updated and extended to include computers and electronic communication, reviews of database software packages, lists of electronic information sources and further reading, and lists of resource suppliers and distributors.

The idea of the community resource centres in developing countries is a very good initiative, and this project should be targeted on developing countries through Parent NGOs and the governments to eliminate poor health and nutrition education.
