Complete humanitarian and development libraries free or at 2 US$ or 2 EURO each

Available Titles for ordering: Community Development Library and Food and Nutrition Libary only. The goal of this project is to maximize free dissemination of humanitarian information to developing countries. The CD-Roms created with or by our partner organisations are only available through their distribution channels to selected recipients to developing countries and cannot be ordered. Other CD-Rom titles are only distributed free of charge to specific mailing lists of recipients in developing countries.
However, two major titles, containing the most practical publications (including some of other CD-ROMS) are distributed freely on a large scale to selected recipients, but are also available for ordering via Human Info NGO: the Community Development Library and the Food and Nutrition Library. The contribution in costs of 2 Euro help us retrieve the mailing and CD print costs. These CDL and FNL CD-ROMS can be ordered here, taking into account following technical and distribution specifications.

System requirements: windows 95 / 98 / NT, preferably minimum 486 processor, 12 Mb free space on hard-disk is required. The CD-ROM library runs on Power Macs which are Windows compatible but is not compatible with earlier Apple MacIntosch computers.
Userfriendly: The CD-ROM library is very userfriendly and uses the powerful Greenstone search engine from the NZDL. It requires versions of Netscape 4.04+ or Explorer 4.0+ browsers. A Netscape version is available for installation on the CD-ROM.

Contribution in costs: CD-ROMS can only be distributed for humanitarian purposes or to help developing countries. The contribution in costs is 2 EURO or 2 US$ per CD-ROM if possible.

Self-copy feature: In case you have only one CD-ROM, you can copy its entire content on the hard-disks of as many PCs as needed. Selecting “Copy the entire CD-ROM on PC” during the installation will copy the entire collection on the hard-disk. The required hard-disk space of each CD-ROM is specified on its label.

These are humanitarian libraries to help people. The goal for these libraries is to be given away, not resold. We encourage individuals and partners in the North and South to help to achieve the main aim of this project. This is to empower as many people as possible in developing countries with free or low-cost practical and useful information. In case you want to help, thank you.

To help distribute this information, following concepts and cost-contributions apply:

1. The basic cost of any CD-ROM is 2 EURO or 2 US$ + mailing costs

2. For individuals anywhere, a minimum contribution is for 6 CD-ROMS (package of 160 gram), which costs 14 US$ or 16 EURO, mailing costs included. If you confirm that you are going to distribute these CD-ROMS free to friends in developing countries, we will send these 6 CD-ROMS to you. If you do not have possibilities to distribute these CD-ROMS free to developing countries, we will send two to you and 4 free on your behalf to the hundreds of partners in developing countries who request free cd-roms to us.

3. For organisations, a minimum contribution is for 36 CD-ROMS (1 Kg), and then the total cost including postal mailing costs is 80 US$ or 90 EURO. VAT must be added for Europe.

4. Organisations are encouraged to help distribute many more CD-ROMS, and thus to order either 300 ( 10 Kg Fedex box) or 900 (25 Kg Fedex box) of any combination of CD-ROMS. At that moment the cost is 1.5 US$ or 1.65 EURO per CD-ROM + the Fedex costs, which are mostly 0.4 US$ or 0.45 EURO per CD-ROM.

5. All proceeds of this small contribution in costs, which still yield a small income for Human Info NGO and its partners, are used to distribute more free CD-ROMS. Within our possibilities, we will try to dsitribute as many free CD-ROMS as possible through organisations in the South.

6. This cost-scheme is what has been applied in practice the last years. For clarity costs described here replace all previous costs and prices, as on older CD-ROMS other pricings may still be printed. For any order emanating from the older CD-ROMS and web-site copies, the pricing or free distribution scheme described here is applied.

7. In developing countries alone, non-profit resale of the CD-ROMS at cost is authorised by Human Info NGO and most of its partners. This means maximum about 2 to 2.5 US$ per CD-ROM. However we strongly encourage the free distribution even in developing countries.
