Dear Colleagues\/To Whom it may concern,<\/p>\n

At the recent International Federation of School Libraries (IFLA) conference the Lyon Declaration on Access to Information and Development (www.lyondeclaration<\/a>) was launched. This declaration calls on Member States of the United Nations to acknowledge that access to information, and the skills to use it effectively, are required for sustainable development. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0The Lyon Declaration outlines the need for access to information to be recognised in the United Nations post-2015 development framework. The framework will succeed the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) and set the agenda for development for the next decade. We urge your institution\/organisation to sign the Declaration to support this motion.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0You can become part of this global movement and sign the Declaration by contacting IFLA’s Policy and Projects Officer, Julia Brungs<\/a>. Include the:<\/p>\n

\u00b7\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 full name of your organisation, and<\/p>\n

\u00b7\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 name of your authorized signatory who can represent the organisation.<\/p>\n

\n

Please indicate whether you grant IFLA permission to publish the name of your organisation on the Lyon Declaration website<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u00a0Many thanks in anticipation of your support. Only when everyone has the opportunity, literacy skills and ability to access information will sustainable development and the possibility of a truly global society become a reality.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
