This special collection comprises the 2536 titles of
the bilingual bibliography "L'emploi des moyens de communication de masse dans les
pays en voie de développement = The use of mass media in the developing
countries", published in 1971 by Jean-Marie van Bol and Abdelfattah
Fakhfakh of the Centre Internationale de Documentation Economique et Sociale
Africaine (CIDESA) in Brussels. The bibliography includes grey literature,
articles and books in French (1,659 titles), English (687 titles) and other
languages, especially on the use of media as educational means in Africa
and other regions. The bibliography is not comprehensive, but can be
considered the first major collection on international media assistance. The
commbox version condensed the over 200 topic codes to 71 thematic
areas and enhanced the bibliographic quality (spelling corrections, links to online versions etc.) where applicable.
