Abstract

The paper briefly traces the development of CONSAL as a regional library organization and also discusses in depth, the CONSAL WEB, the communication infrastructure for professional development and communication amongst Southeast Asian Librarians. CONSAL WEB is assessed against the lessons learnt in implementing the infrastructure. In a region where IT infrastructure is weak, a centralized internet based communication platform helps to disseminate information quickly to the entire professional body distributed across government andprivate institutions. The implementation surfaced problems of use to outcomes and the paper adequatelyaddresses these concerns and draws conclusions for library associations that seek to utilize the webfrontfor communication purposes.
