INFORMATION: THE BASICS
What Is Information?
Information is data on any particular subject. It brings out
new
ideas,
stimulates
reflection
and
promotes discussion.
It creates a
link between people involved in si
milar or allied activities and research.

Who Needs Information?
>' j
Every human
being needs some
kind of information or
the other.
This information may be on any
subject or
discipline
related
to
his work or interests.

A documentation centre is distin

as being more intensive i.e. indepth
subject analysis and accumulation of
wider range of resources.lt has the
quality of 'special' as distinct from
'general' library service in its rel
ationship to the specialised
needs
of users and uses.
The
term ‘general library' has
developed another
dimension with
the introduction of information service, The
i he evolution was due to the
need
to
organise
literature to
bring out their subject value.lt was
also due to
the
thirst for constant and continuous flow of infor
mation on newly developed works or
new publications.
These concepts
provide the distinction between a
library and an information service.
it
aids
In dealing with changes in
situations, and provides for solu
tions to problems unearthed by a
survey, test or research.
5J
A library is a public institution
or establishment charged with the
care of collection of
books and
periodicals and the duty
of mak
ing them accessible
to those who
require the use of them.
Where Do We Get Information From?
fi:
Information in an organised form
can be obtained from a library,
documentation centre. or
an information service.
This requires a great
deal of
spade work before actually starting
the project. Some of them
are:
1. Village
survey:
Number
of
households, population etc.
2. Assessing the needs of
the peopie
thereby identifying your priority.
3.Measuring their attitudes, behaviour
etc.,
about
the
subject
that
you've chosen,
0 - Assessing
the
influence
of
socio-economic,
religious and cultural factors
<
e.g. land, employment, literacy, environment etc.
The
next
step
would
be
to
acquire
relevant

and
documents.

an
effective method of acquiring

of
the
world.
This method is good for
groups who produce materials.
5. Free materials of immense
value are brought out by many
organizations from action groups to
international bodies for wider dissemination. Always be on the look
out for such materials from:
World

Another argument Is
the deslrability for developing

Another
Is .,DEVSIS,

the

which the IDRC

An
attractive
aspect
of
such
systems
is that
they help partici

achieve
several goals simul
taneously: that of obtaining specific
information required
to

out
their

projects;
that of organizing their own Inter

but
not

that
of

It

THE COMMUNITY HEALTH LIBRARY AND DOCUMENTATION UNIT
Society for Community Health Awareness, Research & Action (C.H.C.)
No'. 367, ' Srinivasa Nilaya* , Jakkasandra I Main,
I Block, Koramangala, Bangalore-560 034.
PHONE s 5531518
A. BACKGROUND
' ■
' ■
- ■) f T r • \
•’
:
The Community Health Library "and Documentation Unit of CHC has
evolved gradually over the last decade of CHC’s existence, in
response to ‘needs, and issues that have emerged as significant
over the years. From 1984-89, CHC was an informal study
reflection -action experiment focusing on Community Health
initiatives in the voluntary sector in South India particularly
Karnataka. The role of CHC was primarily catalytic/facilitatory
and the collection of documents, background papers, reports,
. ..articles, educational materials and. policy reflections that
accumulated were secondary to the overall supportive role.
These were also geared more specifically to the needs and
demands of groups with whom we inte.ra.cted...o
’J_.
From 1990 the CHC. experiment gradually metamorphosed into a
registered, autonomous centre, the Society for Community Health
Awareness, Research and Action with the five primary objectives
of creating awareness ..of Community Health; evolving educational
strategies; dialogue with health planners and decision makers;
and promoting community health action through voluntary and
governmental initiatives. A sixth complementary objective of
building a library and dgcumentation centre in. Community Health
to support our work, also evolved at this stage. In 1991 it
.was decided that this unit, would not only support the
information and documentation needs' of the -CHC team and its
partners and associates in the field but would gradually be
available for use by all those interested in community health academics dr activists, service providers or researchers,
trainers, issue raisers, and policy makers.
By 1990 a modest collection of published and unpublished
documents and literature from the growing Community Health
Network and movement in India had emerged as a supplementary
outcome of the initial experiment. Since then a few team
members have accessed, indexed, classified all the materials
that had been collected and evolved simple retrieval systems
so that they are more easily accessible to all the users of
the library.
Till 1991 most of the materials for the unit arrived gratis
through the large network of active linkages that CHC had
established over the years. However since then, a more active
process of identification and accumulation of relevant materials
and publication has beguno While the collection is still a
rather modest one, it represents a fairly good sample of the
diversity and wealth of health resources in the country
particularly those emerging from the Voluntary Health Sector
in India,
2.
'
B. THE COLLECTION
The CHC collection can be classified into the following seven
sub-groups of health related materialso
1. Books / Monographs / Booklets
The focus is primarily on health publications of local/
regibnal/national origins predominantly in English. We have
used a modification of the VHAI subject index code to
classify them (See Appendix A) An author, and subject
related card index has also.been compiled. Short annotated
bibliograpMes£^_-s^e;.^i.the.key....resoufoes-eH important
topics' are" being compiled. We hope to build up regional
language health publications at a later stage.
2O newsletters / Bulletins /'Periodicals
We presently—ree-ei-ve- over-^7 ’ rrewSTettefs’S bulletins,
periodicals and journals representing a wide variety of
health and development related themes and the diversity of
regional, national and international sources.(See Appendix
B and C). A much larger number approximately 170, have been
received irregularly over the last few years for varying
periods of time and back issues are being obtained to build
up more complete collectionsatleast of the 1980's and beyond.
3. Health Education Materials
Pamphlets, booklets, handouts, oh a wide variety.of health
themes and focussing on the lay-public have been gathered
from a wide diversity of sources (Appendix D). Posters,
charts, slides sets, videos on some of the health topics have
also been collected and ar.e. available on loan to CHC .
associates•on special request.
4. Resource / Document Reference files
Files of published and unpublished papers, handouts, articles z
reflections and. short reports have been compiled on a wide
variety^ of community health related theses and from a wide
variety of sources (Appendix B). Background papers of key
health related workshops and meetings are also included in
this section. A large unclassified collection of materials
are waiting to be classified and this section will grow in
the coming months. List of articles in each file are also
available for reference in CHC.

also being compiled. ■ ' ■
8. Special Collections
Some topics have been of special interest "to CHC during its last
few years of experience and had led to special collections of
materials focusing on these themes. Presently these include ■
Community Health training manuals and educational material's;
Rational Drug Policy and Therapeutics; Medical Education;
Indigenous and. Alternative. Systems of Medicine; Health and
Agricultural Development interactions; and History and development
of Mission Health Services. Materials on these themes feature
in all the subclasses mentioned earl.ier. Action is’ being initi
ated to build up •bibliographies of available materials on each
of these topics for ready reference.
'~
T.. .
9o Links with Resources Centres
CHC has established good links with other resource centres
which stock Health and Development related publications,
thereby0 forming
(See Appendix G) an informal network of
resource information centres in Bangalore.

C. USE OF THE LIBRARY
The CHC Documentation unit is open for reference by all our.
friends, associates, visitors and contacts. Loan facility is

from, the .Coordinator or Members -incharges of .speeOi^&ubUnits o
The books/journals and other education materials can be referred

Catalogues,^ Title/Card index and files with list of materials
a.re available with relevant details for retrieval of materials
in the library,
.u
Computerization of collection to enhance retrieval is a long
term plan.
.
. .
;
All potential users are requested to make prior appointment by
post/pbonej. indicating area of. specific interest so that relevant
• • materials• for- (reference can be identified- in advance. Since,
most of the senior core team are constantly on the move,
responding to various initiatives, they are not always available
for discussion if visits are made without prior intimation.
D. QUR PHILOSOPHY
The CHC Documentation .Unit would1 like to'help
i. Health action initiators focus on social1 change process
- rather than only on medical/health interventions.
ii. Focus on information for enabling/empowering people rather
than just providing technical services.
iiio Support movement of the Primary' Health Care philosophy
not only to the grassroots but also to secondary and
tertiary levels of health care,
.y
"
iVo
Reach key health inforination to health decision makers
academics, activists., researchers, journalists and the
media, issue based movements and field-projects of the
government and voluntary sector and most of all to the |
general public to enhance their participation in Health
decision making.
All users of the unit are therefore invited not to.be passive
clients of the unit but be active participants to help us reach
information to all concerned through creative communication
processes o
Any suggestions or contribution towards enhancing the
collection of materials, towards these broader goals-would be
most welcome.

Creeping distortions
All of us need to be aware of the distortions that
are creeping into the concept of primary health

Key questions
Health activists and resource groups need to un

and not just a series of projects providing service
AHRTAG must continue to recall the inspiratidn of
the 1970s, described in its first annual review:
‘Health care innovations [must] benefit the poorest
and remotest people ... where funds, energy sources,
maintenance skills and facilities are limited.’ It must
also consolidate the linkages developed in the
1980s through its publications and collaborative
projects.

Tradition of flexi-management often used by team members to make personal
needs to overshadow CIIC needs
•
Too much individualism. Reduced space for others to think. All good things can
be misused
F.
Review Process
The consolidation / review process continued
i.
A 14 year review of CHC was completed and circulated for comments.
ii. The staff completed a detailed SWOT analysis (Strengths, Weaknesses,
Opportunities and Threats) for the March Review meeting.
iii. A review of the research done by CHC was completed by TN and circulated.
iv. An analysis of the scenario building questionnaire sent to a wide variety of CHC
associates and contacts was completed.
v. All these were presented at a two day review meeting organised in the fir^t week
of April 1998. An eight member Review Committee consisting of four senior
peers (Dr. P. Zachariah, Fr. John Vattamattom, Ms. Sujatha de Magry and Dr.
Chakraborthy) and 4 junior peers (Drs. Anand Zachariah, Madhukar Pai, Ravi
D’Souza and Prabir Chatterjee) attended along with CHC Society members and a
few associates.
vi. The Review proceeding coming out of the Review will be instrumental in helping
CHC find a new direction and framework for action for the future.
G.
Library and Documentation
i.
Computerization of books in the library was completed in October 1997.
ii. The library team presented an update on the CHC library for the Review
Committee meeting, an updated handout on the library, and a complete CHC
publication list.
iii. The Raja Rammohun Roy Trust sanctioned a grant for the CHC library as a
‘special interest’ public libraiy.
iv. Many papers were published in national journals (see addition to publication list).
H.
The Information and Advisory Service
i.
As in the past, the Information and Advisory service of CHC continued actively
with numerous requests coming in the post and a host of visitors from very varied
backgrounds and experience visited CHC to discuss issues, experiences and
initiatives of common interest. As usual, this took a lot of time of the coordinator
12
t-
long term involvements, so that people/communities benefit from these interactions
and do not get used as guinea pigs for the varying agendas of institutions, projects
and professional initiatives.
O. THE CHC LIBRARY AND DOCUMENTATION UNIT
43. The CHC Library and Documentation is our prize possession. It reflects the CHC
paradigm shift in its focus and its collections. Grey literature based on action and
experience rather than typical professional literature is our focus. We focus on
reports, bulletins, newsletters, CED documents by post, resource files of papers
and handouts, research reports, field reviews, etc., rather than scientific journals
and texts.
The unit has helped a wide range of users come in contact with the
diversity of Indian experience.
44. The audio visual unit now has posters, pamphlets, slidesets, videos and has been
supponive of all our training programmes and also that of other groups. We have
a very open and flexible loan policy which is being increasingly used by a larger
number of users.
Recently, the Raja Rammohun Roy Trust has agreed to support the library as an
example of a special interest public library.
In keeping with the demands of the information age, CHC is in the process of
computerising the collection and increasing the interactive dimensions of its
collection.
A detailed note on the library and its collection; the library policy; the classification
used; the list of journals and newsletters and a catalogue of the audio visual
teaching aids is available on request.
45. The library owes its development to all our contacts at a national level and friends
and associates who continue to send us materials. A surprising aspect of the
growth has been the continuous inflow of‘gratis’ material. More recently various
professionals (associates) are contributing their personal collections of materials - a
trSnd which augurs well for CHC Library. The organisation based on the VHAI
classification is entirely due to the long standing efforts of SJ our earliest CHC
part-timer and later supported by others (NG, JCN, MS).
P. THE CHC WEB OF INTERACTION (The matrix of the CH Netivork)
46. In the last 14 years, the CHC team has interacted with a rich diversity of people and
groups in Community Health and this matrix/web of interaction is today a major
strength. The people and groups who have been involved from all over the country
include:

The computerisation of library records is under way. All the new arrivals
of books, journals and other materials from 2002 onwards have been
entered into the CLIC database. Information about the latest CHC
publications and new arrivals in CLIC has also been updated on the CHC
website (www.sochara.org). The CLIC section in the website has got a
new face-lift with a visual representation of CLIC on the homepage.

Library Software
Discussions about choosing a CLIC software have been under way with
different software developers. Janastu, an organisation which works with
the motto of “Let it be people!”, was one of the developers who
approached CHC with their software. The mission of Janastu is to
sustainably enable the social development sector to pro-actively manage
communitybased knowledge. Their product called PANTOTO
communities software took four years to develop and was developed
through over three hundred person-hours of work.
The second software which is being tested out at CLIC is e-granthalaya.
This product has been developed for libraries by National informatics
Centre (NIC), a Government of India body. NIC was set up with the

LIBRARY AND INFORMATION CENTRE
COMMUNITY HEALTH CELL
Society for Community Health Awareness, Research and Action (SOCHARA)
A.
Background
The Community Health Library and Information Centre of CHC has evolved
gradually over the last two decade of CHC’s existence, in response to the
needs and issues that have emerged over the years. From 1984-89, CHC was
an informal study — reflection, action experiment focusing on community
Health initiatives in the voluntary sector in South India particularly Karnataka.
The role of CHC was primarily catalytic / facilitatory and the collection of
documents, background papers, reports, articles, educational materials and
policy reflections that accumulated were secondary to the overall supportive
role. These were also geared more specifically to the needs and demands of
groups with whom we interacted.
From 1990, the CHC experiment gradually metamorphosed into a registered,
autonomous centre, the Society for Community Health Awareness,
Research and Action with the five primary objectives of creating awareness
of Community Health; undertaking research in community health policy
issues; evolving education strategies; dialoguing with health planners and
decision makers; and promoting community health action through
voluntary and governmental initiatives. A sixth complementary objective of
building a library and information centre in Community Health to support
our work, also evolved at this stage. In 1991 it was decided that this unit,
would not only support the information and documentation needs of the CHC
team and its partners and associates in the field but would be available for use
by all those interested in community health - academics or activists, service
providers or researchers, trainers, issue raisers, and policy makers.
By 1990 a modest collection of published and unpublished documentation and
literature from the growing Community Health Network and movement in
India had emerged as a supplementary outcome of the initial experiment.
Since then a few team members have accessed indexed, classified all the
materials that had been collected and evolved simple retrieval systems so that
they are more easily accessible to all the users of the library.
Till 1991 most of the materials for the unit arrived gratis through the large
network of active linkages that CHC had established over the years. Since
then, a more active process of identification and accumulation of relevant
materials and publication has begun. While the collection is still a rather
modest one, it represents a fairly good sample of the diversity and wealth of
health resources in the country particularly those emerging from the Voluntary
Health Sector in India.
B.
THE COLLECTION
The CHC collection can be classified into the following eight sub-groups of
health related materials
2
1.
Books / Monographs / Booklets / Reports
The focus is primarily on health publications of local / regional /
national origins predominantly in English. We have used a
modification of the VHAI subject index code to classify them (see
appendix A) an author, and subject related card index has also been
compiled. Short annotated bibliographies of some of the key resources
on important topics are being compiled.
2.
Newsletter / Bulletins / Periodicals
We presently receive over newsletters, bulletins, periodicals and
journals representing a wide variety of health and development related
themes and the diversity of regional, national and international sources.
(Appendix B and C). A much larger number approximately 161, have
been received irregularly over the last few years for varying periods of
time. Back issues are being obtained to build up complete collections.
3.
Health Education Materials
Pamphlets, booklets, handouts, on a wide variety of health themes and
focusing on the lay-public have been gathered from a wide diversity of
sources (Appendix D). Posters, charts, slide sets, videos. Audio
cassettes on some of the health topics have also been collected and are
available on loan to CHC associates.
4.
Resources / Documentation Reference Files
Files of published and unpublished papers, handouts, articles,
reflections and short reports have been compiled on wide variety of
community health related themes and from a wide variety of sources
(Appendix E). Background papers of key health related workshops and
meetings are also included in this section.
5.
DOC POST (Paper Clippings)
We are subscribers to the postal documentation service of the Centre
for Education and Development, Bombay and Bangalore and receive
67 sections of their documentation collection (Appendix F).
6.
Directories / Reports on Health related projects in India
Directories of Voluntary agencies in Health Care, list of resource
groups and reports from a wide variety of ongoing health and
development projects in India are available for reference. Apart from
these, reports of research and training institutions in both
government/voluntary sector are also available. All these represent the
live -web of linkages that CHC has established with the health
3
network. Reports in India. Materials from some of the key international
training / resource centres are also available.
7.
Special Collection
Some topics have been of special interest to CHC during its last few
years of experience and had led to special collections of materials
focusing on these themes. Presently these include Community Health
training manuals and educational materials; Indigenous and Alternative
Systems of Medicine; Health and Agricultural Development
interactions; and History and development of Mission Health Services.
Materials on these themes feature in all the subclasses mentioned
earlier. Action is being initiated to build up bibliographies of available
materials on each of these topics for ready reference.
8.

USE OF THE LIBRARY
The CHC Information Centre is open for reference by all our friends,
associates, visitors and contacts. Loan facility is available to associates / users
of the unit on special permission from the coordinator or members in-charge
of specific subunits.
The books / journals and other education materials can be referred in the
library between 9.30 am and 5.30 pm on a weekdays.
Card index (Author & Subject) and files with list of materials are available
with relevant details for retrieval of materials in the library. The books part
have been computerized. Our long term plan is computerization of the whole
collection to enhance retrieval.
All potential users are requested to make prior appointment by post / phone
indicating area of specific interest so that relevant materials for reference can
be identified in advance. Since most of senior core team is constantly on the
move responding to various initiatives, they are not always available for
discussion if visits are made without prior intimation.
D.
OUR PHILOSOPHY
The CHC Information Centre would like to help
5
I.
Health action initiators focus on social change process rather than only
on medical / health interventions.
ii.
Focus on information for enabling / empowering people rather than
just providing technical services.
iii.
Support movement of the Primary Health Care philosophy not only to
the grassroots but also to secondary and tertiary levels of health care.
iv.
Reach key health information to health decision makers, academics,
activists, researchers, journalists and the media, issue based
movements and field projects of the government and voluntary sector
and most of all to the general public to enhance their participation in
health decision making.
v.
All users of the centre are therefore invited not to be passive clients of
the centre but be active participants to help us reach information to all
concerned through creative communication processes.
Any suggestion or contribution towards enhancing the collection of materials
towards these broader goals would be most welcome.
