My librarian friend now serving in the US Foreign Service in Poland shared this blog with me:
IRCWORLD: Postings by US Information Resource Centers Around the World
Grab a cup of coffee and sit down. I am fascinated by the wealth of information this site has to offer.
I did a little investigating and found that the IRC- Information Resource Center- libraries are attached to all US Embassies and Consulates around the world to keep everyone working in the government services updated and knowledgeable about world events, including emergent new technology. Peatter Ness, the IRC Director in Oslo and the creator of this site, had a vision of what collaborative learning and sharing of resources is all about.
Peatter created this site so all IRC librarians could share the resources they find (their little goldmines) with other IRC Librarians and everyone throughout the world. Why keep all these ‘gems’ to yourself? Share the wealth. He has done a great job sharing the work of the IRC Librarians' resources for you to dig into. Thanks Peatter !
Maybe you will need two cups of coffee to get through all these resources…
