The New Tactics WorkbookNew Tactics in Human Rights: A Resource for PractitionersIn the past two decades the world has seen the beginning of a new era for human rights, one in which the weight of international law and international public opinion has come increasingly to bear. In the arena of international law, new mechanisms have transformed the way we think about and achieve justice. And at the same time, the creative thinking and innovative spirit of individuals and organizations have changed the way we think about what is possible in human rights — and therefore what we can achieve. All around the world and at all levels, in small villages and in national governments as well as at the highest levels of international justice, people are creating and using innovative tactics to make their work more effective. The New Tactics in Human Rights Project captures these tactical innovations and shares them with others striving to advance human rights. I invite you to join me in celebrating this work and in making use of the valuable resource you now hold in your hands. 

Visual literacy is a characteristic all human beings inherently possess. Yet because of our cultural and social differences, we interpret visual symbols and representations, such as drawings, pictures, and artefacts, in different ways. How and why people use visual images to represent complex ideas and processes is the focus of How People use Pictures. It is the first comprehensive review of the literature on visual literacy in over a decade, and offers new insights into this complicated issue. Written for practitioners interested in communicating with local people using pictures and visual symbols and for researchers interested in gaining a deeper appreciation of the 'language of the visual' , this book provides detailed annotations of over 100 key references, as well as an extensive list of useful institutions and resources. This book was reprinted in 1997 and contains a new forward written by Bob Linney, outlining recent developments in visual literacy

In December 2001, the UNHCR Library of the former Centre for Documentation and Research (CDR) was relocated to the Visitors’ Centre. This new entity participates in promoting the visibility and image of UNHCR to the public at large. The Library is very specialized: it focuses on information published about refugees and related subjects. It's collection consists of more than 15000 documents (books, articles, conference reports), encompassing the complete range of country, refugee, migration, human rights and international law literature. It also subscribes to some 200 refugee-related periodicals and to a number of international newspapers. In the last 15 years, the Library has built up a comprehensive collection of refugee-related material.

The Centre's resource library contains over 3000 titles on the subject of arts and education, arts and health, community development and urban regeneration. Besides British, American and European texts, a section of the library is exclusively dedicated to reports, case studies and literature published by a wide range of cultural organisations at a regional, national and international level, which provides users with an up-to-date overview of any developments currently taking place in the fields of cultural policy, arts and education, urban renewal and community development. In addition, the library regularly receives a number of periodicals, newsletters and magazines making it an invaluable reference and research source for practitioners within the above mentioned fields. Its holdings are constantly being updated and the library is currently undergoing restructuring, the result of which will be a much improved, quick reference database for ease of use. The library can be visited by appointment on Monday-Thursday, between 10am and 4pm. While use of the facilities is free, there is a charge of 10p per page for photocopies.
