What is Know How
conference?
Mexico, 23-26
August 2006
The Know How
Conference on the World of Women's Information is
a process of sharing knowledge and expertise
between women's information specialists throughout
the globe.
It merges from the
necessity of communicating experiences in
information organization related to women.
The role of
information and communication services around the
world ensure that women, women’s organizations,
public policy makers, researchers and media have
access to relevant information. This contributes
to the advances and growth of women in the local,
regional and international level.
Know How Conference
has been created as an international community for
increasing the needed abilities in order to
provide information, learn from colleagues and to
be an influence in the world of information.
Know How Conference
is a growing activity. The community meets
physically every four years. Since Know How
established as it is, two conferences took place,
the first one in 1998 and the second in 2002.
Every Conference is organised for a Know How
community partaker.
Up to now, the
members of the Conference are libraries,
documentation centers, information centers on
Internet, archives specialized on women and gender
studies. Potential members of the Know How
Community are all those dedicated to the creation
and dissemination of information for the
empowerment of women, such as people from the
media, public officials and researchers among
others.
