| Abstract: | Conclusions Collecting, collating, presenting and disseminating information are key success areas for information centers. This is where
many organizations either gain or lose competitive advantage. Information not managed professionally and constructively has
little value. It remains inaccessible, and its existence unknown. In this sense ILEIA has profiled itself in such a way that
it has maintained its capacity to continue the strategic collection of grey literature and to retain a status which has ensured
and is recognized as having a special niche in development-orientated publishing and information exchange. ILEIA has been
successful in collecting and disseminating information during the 20 years of its existence. The main reasons for this success
must be sought in the methodology underlying the editorial approach and the continuous attention that has been given to networking
and profiling ILEIA's activities. |
