the page number on which that language entry is listed, so as to<br />

help users to quickly and easily locate the exact page on which<br />

their preferred language appears.<br />

2. For some of the languages there is an improved use of tags<br />

and terms to help classify citations into relevant categories<br />

depending on the particular needs of the user. For example,<br />

resources intended for educational purposes, for job finding, for<br />

healthcare and caregiving, for employment searching, and so on.<br />

Moreover, we stressed to the contributors that they should give<br />

highest priority to including very practical tutorials which could be<br />

used to teach (or self-teach) IL methods and practices to ordinary<br />

adults and students for their everyday life use, both online and<br />

offline, and afford lowest priority to including highly theoretical,<br />

academic and abstract materials.<br />

3. We have been able to include many more of the less widely<br />

used languages, such as those used in Africa and Asia, and we<br />

hope that this trend will continue in future years as more and more<br />

countries and contributors become familiar with the publication's<br />

purposes, contents and applications.<br />

We wish you success, whether teacher, librarian, parent, student,<br />

job seeker, healthcare seeker, media professional, ICT specialist, or<br />

ordinary citizen, as you first familiarize yourself with the contents<br />

of this highly diverse, inclusive and essential modern tool, and then<br />

find ways to apply it to help solve your personal and family related<br />

as well as business problems, and make more informed decisions,<br />

and to help others to do the same.<br />

Thank you!<br />
