150516 - Free PM World Library access for residents of Nepal

PM World Press Release
For Immediate Release
Free PM World Library access for residents of Nepal
Free scholar level access to library now available for residents of Nepal and other
low income countries
16 May 2015 – Dallas, London, Sydney – PM World has announced that it is making access to its
new Scholar membership level in the PM World Library free to residents of Nepal and other low
income countries. Free access to professionals in countries included in the World Bank’s list of
low income countries was previously available for basic member access. The entire PM World
Library is now being opened up to residents of those countries.
According to David Pells, managing director of the PM World Library, “Following the devastating
earthquakes in Nepal last week, we want to make any resources in the library available to those
who may be involved in recovery and redevelopment projects there. Our new scholar membership
includes access to EBSCO’s massive business publications database where any number of
articles, books and publications may be useful in Nepal and other low income countries. Now
whatever resources we have in the library are available to those who might need them the most.”
“Tom Taylor, president of APM in the UK, contacted me this week,” Pells adds. “Tom suggested
that we do something for our friends in the Project Management Association of Nepal, of which we
are both honorary members. This is the least we can do, and the fastest option. I hope readers in
Nepal and other similar situations can benefit.”
