Kodikara Library, University of Moratuwa [email protected] Thushari M. Seneviratne * Library, University of Moratuwa [email protected] C.N.D. Punchihewa Library, University of Moratuwa [email protected] Abstract Outreach librarianship – a concept which had a history of more than 40 years - has been diversely used in libraries all over the world as well as in Sri Lanka. Outreach Librarianship is aimed to reach out to traditional and non-traditional library users, extending beyond the walls of a physical library to serve underprivileged communities. Establishment of Outreach Services Division in Library, University of Moratuwa has fulfilled a long- felt need to serve the community living in the vicinity of University of Moratuwa. “Child Development Programme” at Sumudu Preschool located in the University premises and “Reading Camp” at Bodhiraja Vidyalaya, Katubedda, Moratuwa are two outreach initiatives that the staff of Library, University of Moratuwa are currently engaged in.

  • Sri Lanka Eligibility
    UNHCR ELIGIBILITY GUIDELINES FOR ASSESSING THE INTERNATIONAL PROTECTION NEEDS OF ASYLUM-SEEKERS FROM SRI LANKA United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) April 2009 NOTE UNHCR Eligibility Guidelines are issued by the Office to assist decision-makers, including UNHCR staff, Governments and private practitioners, in assessing the international protection needs of asylum-seekers from a given country. They are authoritative legal interpretations of the refugee criteria in respect of specific groups on the basis of objectively assessed social, political, economic, security, human rights, and humanitarian conditions in the country of origin concerned. The pertinent protection needs are analyzed in detail and recommendations made as to how the applications in question should be decided upon in line with the relevant principles and criteria of refugee law as per, notably, the 1951 Convention and its 1967 Protocol, the UNHCR Statute and relevant regional instruments such as the Cartagena Declaration, the 1969 OAU Convention and the EU Asylum Directives. The recommendations may also touch upon, as relevant, complementary or subsidiary protection regimes. UNHCR issues its Eligibility Guidelines pursuant to its responsibility to promote the accurate interpretation and application of the above-mentioned refugee criteria as envisaged by Article 8 of its Statute, Article 35 of the 1951 Convention and Article II of its 1967 Protocol and based on the expertise it has developed over several years in eligibility and refugee status determination matters. It is expected that the positions and guidance contained in the Guidelines should be weighed heavily by the relevant decision-making authorities in reaching a decision on the asylum applications concerned.

We monitor). The nominotypic form V. s. salvator is endemic found a total of 102 food items that have been observed (Koch et al., 2007) and the largest species of lizard in Sri Lanka predated/consumed by V. s. salvator in Sri Lanka (Table 1). with the longest individual recorded being 321 cm in total Among these, 86 (84.3%) were vertebrates, and 16 (15.7%) length (Bennett, 1998). V. s. salvator are generally found in invertebrates. Vertebrate prey included four species of aquatic habitats including freshwater swamps, ditches, tanks, amphibian (3.9%), 18 species of reptile (17.7%) including streams, reservoirs, ponds, rivers, mangroves and coastal highly toxic snakes, for example Daboia russelii and Naja marshes areas.
