Governmental Libraries Development: an experience of strategic collaboration in the field of social sciences

Instituto Superior de Relaciones Internacionales, Cuba

The Institute of Scientific and Technological Documentation and Information (IDICT), of the Ministry of Science, Technology and Environment of Cuba, (CITMA) convoked a meeting in October 1995 of some governmental and non-governmental libraries and information centres that manage political, social and economic information. The purpose of the meeting was to create a working group to promote the development of such type of centres in the field of social sciences. The group was charged with promoting a closer relationship among the centres and the development of collaborative projects, stimulating partnership, cooperation and coordination of specific tasks. This paper describes the work and achievements of the group, the Comité de Coordinación de Centros de Información Política y Social, COIPS, which now comprises 32 centres.
