?
By Elizabeth Naumczyk, IFLA Law Libraries Section, Program Committee
The IFLA Law Libraries Section [1], in cooperation with Libraries & Research Services for Parliaments [2], Government Information &
Official Publications [3], and Government Libraries [4], is seeking proposals? for papers to be presented at a two-hour program to be held at the IFLA
World Library and Information Congress in Helsinki, Finland in August 2012. Last year in Puerto Rico Part 1 focused on the Caribbean, Central
and South American. This year the focus will be on new democracies, examining their level of government transparency, with a special focus
on their legal systems, e.g., Estonia, Lithuania, Finland, the Scandinavian countries, and other European countries.
?
Our Section’s interest to promote access to free legal information as a basic human right involves learning from our colleagues how their
jurisdictions have tackled the provision of authoritative sources of legal information authenticated by their governments. This is a Call
for Papers to share experiences by featuring model countries and promoting best practices. Papers are welcome on how Ministry of Justices or other
governmental institutions in European democracies have addressed the issue of free open access for official authenticated legal information
