UNESCO Knowledge Hub for Asia-Pacific
UNESCO's Regional Bureau for Communication and Information, New Delhi,India
Supplied note: "'This website offers a
practical expression of UNESCO's firm commitment to the building of
knowledge societies' said UNESCO Director-General Koochiro Matsuura
when launching the site."
Site contents: UNESCO corporate pages, plus links to
KNOWLEDGE RESOURCES (Databases, Digital Libraries, E-Thesis,
Books, Reports, Publications,
Country Profiles, Maps/Atlas, A/P Statistics,
A/P Economy, Portals, Forum, Directories, Aerial Photos, Freeware);
OTHER ASIA-PACIFIC BODIES (Societies, Networks, Institutes,
IGOs, NGOs); BURNING ISSUES IN ASIA PACIFIC (HIV/AIDS, Gender, Water,
Environment).
[Note: Surely, UNESCO must be joking: the bulk of the site is no more than a souped-up interface to the google.com search engine!
A most inadequate strategy indeed - ed.]
