Subject: Ecology Center in Vologda region seeks partner for projects
Over the last years, my library (Vologda Regional Library, the
main library in the Vologda Region, that is situated not far from Moscow
and not far from Sankt- Petersburg) has been cooperating with the Ecology
and Natural Resources Committee of the Regional Government. The Federal
Government of the Vologda Region established the Government Program on
Natural Resources Preservation.
The Library and the Committee are carrying out a joint project on
disseminating information on natural resources preservation. Every year
the Library and the Committee organize a number of special events. They
include:
* the International Earth Day Exhibition in the Library;
* the river-boat trip "Save and Preserve" along the Sukhona river
dedicated to the preservation of the river basin;
* public readings"The history of ancient family manors of the Volgda
Province"; and
* some ecological training programs for librarians in the Region.
Today, the Library holdings include books and periodicals
primarily in Russian. To better meet patron's needs, the Library acquires
filmstrips, audio and video cassettes, CD-ROMs, microfiches,microfilms,
ecology video games and computer games, foreign books (basically
directories and encyclopedias) and foreign periodicals on ecology
subjects. Since theese days the Internet provides access to catalogs of
the largest libraries all over of the world, to the largest ecology
agency's databases and to information about various environments, the
best ecology scientific centers, famous National Parks, and a olot of
other important and useful information concerning ecology, it is
necessary for my Library to have Internet access(unfortunately, it has no
it).
Therefore my Library are looking for a partner. It might be any
Environmental Protection Agency with a library or Information Center or
any special environmental library or any other institutions might be
interested in cooperation with my Library. One of the forms of our future
cooperation can be writing grant proposals for joint project.
