Getting Online for Human Rights
The AAAS Science and Human Rights Program is pleased to announce the
release of a new resource entitled "Getting Online for Human Rights:
Frequently Asked Questions and Answers About Using the Internet in Human
Rights Work." This is the first in the AAAS Science and Human Rights
Program's series on the application of information technology to human
rights work. Getting Online for Human Rights addresses questions on how
to apply Internet technology to human rights research, such as search
engine strategies and webbots, accessing materials on the Web with only
email, Internet security issues, and communications (electronic
conferences, email, listservs, newsgroups, etc). It also offers
suggestions on dealing with and protecting the integrity of Internet-based
human rights information. Aimed at reaching as wide an audience as
possible, it assumes only a very basic knowledge of the Internet on the
part of the reader.
Individual copies can be obtained directly from the AAAS Science and Human
Rights Program for $5 US each (plus $2.50 shipping and handling). Contact:
Gretchen Richter, AAAS Science and Human Rights Program, 1200 New York
