Indian workshop report

A 100 page document was published in December 2006, containing papers presented at a workshop held in India for information professionals providing services to disabled people. There is not actually so much focusing specifically on IL education for disabled persons, but some papers more generally on what IL and why it is important, material on services to the disabled, information about initiatives in India, papers on assistive technology and the relevance of IT to the lives of the disabled. The workshop was organised by the Society for the Advancement of Library & Information Science (SALIS), the Madras School of Social Work (MSSW) andUNESCO.
