ICAR Fundraising Appeal | 9 June 2010

Many of you will have used ICAR to gather info for your work with refugees and asylum-seekers. Sadly, "our host institution, City University, is having to make savings due to central government cuts across the Higher Education sector and has formally announced that it can no longer support ICAR. We will be leaving the University on July 7^th 2010."

There is more info about this, and also an appeal for funding on the ICAR website.

"Your Reading Choices" | 9 June 2010

Your Reading Choices is part of Reading Sight, a joint project between RNIB, Share the Vision, The Society of Chief Librarians and supported by the Ulverscroft Foundation. We are all too aware of the limited choice of reading in alternative formats. At the same time as supporting Right to Read and any other ways to create awareness and lobby for this to change we need to find ways to help people make the best of the current situation.

Your Reading Choices will be launched on 15 June at the RNIB National Library Service as part of Make a Noise in Libraries fortnight.
