The entire process of producing, organization,
preservation, and socialization of information
represents an act of identity and responsibility
of professionals and technicians in our societies.
Nevertheless, the immobility and the exclusion
of sociopolitical topics on the agendas of professional
associations and public policies at the local,
regional, and national levels have impeded developing
and articulating solution proposals; as well as
introducing social and economic transformations
in our professional work.
The SFIDL is the continuation
of the First Social Forum of Information,
Documentation and Libraries (Buenos Aires,
Argentina, August 26-28, 2004) and its purpose
is Latin American interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary
integration in order to establish an agenda of
professional activities, offering results from
professional and academic experiences and promoting
initiatives as mechanisms of social transformation
and improved policies from information sciences.
Access
and participation are free

The
objectives of the Forum are:
1) To promote the technical
and professional development framework centered
on the problems and social context of document and
information services
2)
To support and spread experiences and solution modalities
related to circulation, preservation, production,
and access to the informative cultural property
(print or electronic) for Latin America and the
Caribbean.
3)
To exchange theoretical approaches, experiences,
methodologies and results that allow the development
of new regional strategies for the development of
document and information services in the context
of globalization (information society and economics.)
4) To consolidate a continent network directed towards
the construction of permanent workspaces dedicated
to information sciences and related disciplines,
from a social, political, and humanistic perspective.
5)
To establish political and social strategies for
the sector (librarian, documentalist, and information
technology specialist), tending to guarantee free,
egalitarian, and plural cultural relations between
people, preserving their right to self-determination
and the development of self-management.
6)
To promote international solidarity between those
involved in the processing of information and cooperation
between groups, organizations, and institutions,
under an orientation focused on the development
of a democratic environment for the construction
of cooperative efforts.
7)
To promote critical and creative participation in
problem solving and in the development of theoretical
and practical proposals for the creation, improvement,
consolidation, and updating of developing bibliographies,
documents and information.
