Abstract
Based on a paper presented at the 26th annual meeting of the Information Management Working Group of the European Association of Development Research and Training Institutes (EADI), 12–15 September 2001, Bordeaux, France, on the subject of ‘Value and quality of development information’. The Blue Trunk library is a collection of about 150 books on medicine and public health, together with three or four subscriptions to medical journals. The collection has been developed by the Library of the WHO for installation in district health centres, mainly in Africa, to compensate for the lack of up-to-date medical and health information. More than 1057 Blue Trunk Libraries have been distributed in about thirty-eight countries in Africa and the Middle East.
