Information is a resource for development, which every country, developed or developing, must use to produce a national outlook. Many people view it as a raw material and commodity capable of being exploited for personal gains and for the good of a nation. However, the idea of an information society is not a global phenomenon. While there is a glut of information in developed countries, there is a dearth in developing ones. Against this background of information lag, this article examines the information divide in contemporary societies. 相似文献

Concern over the information gap between developed and developing countries has led to a number of initiatives to promote access to information, but is there a potential of overlapping and conflicting information being given to the recipients? And what are publishers' attitudes towards the supply of their content at greatly reduced prices, or for free? During 2002 INASP was commissioned to undertake a survey to identify publishers' activities and opinions in this area. The survey found that the majority of respondents were involved in one or more access programmes and there was a willingness from both the commercial and the non‐commercial sector to provide their information in this way. 相似文献

Information Technology (IT) has paved the way for an information society sans frontiers to have easy access to information and communication. IT also connects the machine environment with human applications, and has emerged as a force for global connectivity.Nevertheless, there is a disparity in the spread of IT across the world between the developed and the developing nations. The paper describes the use of IT in Sri Lanka and how the nation strives to integrate the opportunities and challenges it provides. The paper provides the background of a new government concept called E-Sri Lanka, with the goal of creating a full IT environment projected to bridge the information gap within the nation. The country is making a laudable effort to create a complete IT environment, and the paper brings forth the developments made over the years in the spheres of information and Information Technology, through government decisions, IT education, applications and institutional activity. The article concludes on a note of optimism—there is interactivity between IT and workers rather than humans being replaced by machines. 相似文献

The paper discusses the state of the interactive environment in the context of developing countries and relates this to the library and information service (LIS) professionals' ethos on freedom of information. It highlights the role of LIS professionals in adaptive integration of the concept of “leap-frogging,” in support of the struggle for equal access to information for citizens. Drawing from the literature of developed countries, the paper then focuses on ethical issues to which LIS professionals in developing countries need to be sensitized. It encompasses freedom of information, copyright and privacy of information. It concludes by recognizing the need for the reinforcement of education on ethical issues for LIS professionals in developing countries and the role of library associations in sensitization efforts. 相似文献

[目的/意义] 在知识经济时代, 保障公众平等、低成本的知识获取成为学术出版商主要的社会责任之一。理清学术出版商的社会责任是什么, 学术出版商应如何推动公众的知识获取, 为学术出版商更好地履行社会责任提供借鉴。[方法/过程] 通过对Reed Elsevier等国际四大学术出版巨头的调查, 总结学术出版商推动知识获取的实践现状和存在的问题, 针对学术出版商如何推动知识获取提出建议。[结果/结论] 通过调查研究, 发现学术出版商在推动个人、机构和国家的知识获取方面确实做出了一些努力, 但是也存在信息公平、免费资源相对较少、涉及范围比较有限等问题。笔者认为, 学术出版商应在保障公众平等地获取信息资源、加强社会公共知识建设、缩小发展中国家与发达国家的信息鸿沟等方面有所作为。 相似文献

高校图书馆是开展政府信息服务的法定主体之一。但这一点往往被人们忽略,导致高校图书馆在政府信息服务中存在一些缺失,如地位的缺失、社会效用的忽视、立法保障的缺失。高校图书馆应该克服困难,开展政府信息服务,实现其社会价值,即巩固自身的信息中心地位、实现信息资源共建共享以及为社会开展知识服务。 相似文献

Applying the health belief model, this study examined young adults' intention to adopt preventive behaviors against influenza infection in developing countries (Thailand and Cambodia) and developed countries (the USA and Singapore). Self-efficacy was the only variable significantly related to behavioral intention in the developing countries. In contrast, perceived threat, expected benefits, and media attention were significant predictors in the developed countries. Trust in information sources also had a consistent impact across the two samples. Theoretical and practical implications of the findings are discussed. 相似文献

National statistical system is an integral part of knowledge base of government in all developing countries. In India, statistical agencies, which function under the aegis of government, produce a great variety of statistical information on different socio-economic variables. The purpose of this paper is to present an overview of socio-economic databases developed in India with special reference to initiatives taken by the data producing agencies for an user friendly dissemination programme. 相似文献

The information needs of scientists in English-speaking countries have been studied and reported in the library literature. However, few studies exist on the information-seeking patterns of scientists in developing countries, and no study has examined the information needs of medical scientists in developing Asian countries. This study investigated the information needs of academic medical scientists at Chulalongkorn University in Bangkok, Thailand. The results indicate that medical scientists have three types of information needs: identifying up-to-date information, obtaining relevant studies and data, and developing research topics. Thai scientists' information-seeking behavior was different from that of scientists in developed countries. The study shows a high use of libraries as information providers; Thai medical scientists rely heavily on information from abroad. 相似文献

This article traces the historical development of Digital Libraries (DLs), examines some DL initiatives in developed and developing countries and uses 5S Theory as a lens for analyzing the focused DLs. The analysis shows that present-day systems, in both developed and developing nations, are essentially content and user centric, with low level digitization projects in developing countries. Also, there is a lack of interoperability among the various types of DL initiatives. The article recommends investment in DL projects, digitization of print collection, as well as the development of standards that will address the problem of interoperability among the various systems. 相似文献

Developing information systems and e-government requires a lot of strategic and financial resources that developing countries often do not have. Facing such challenges, some countries are supported by international assistance and donors. This research contributes to explain how such assistance on the development of national information and communication technology (ICT) strategies and programs is related to e-government development. This comparative study of Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, (Former Yugoslav Republic of) Macedonia, Montenegro and Serbia takes a Rational Neoinstitutionalist perspective to look at longitudinal changes in these developing countries. Quantitative data such as the amount of foreign aid for national ICT strategies and the e-government index are combined with qualitative information from reports and documents. The research suggests that the effect of international assistance on e-government is generally positive in less developed countries. The analysis of benchmarking and benchlearning as e-government policy-making tools is another aim of this study, providing a critical discussion of their role and that of the donor–benchmarker duality. 相似文献

This article's purpose is to analyze the current state of library websites in academic institutions in Gulf Cooperative Council (GCC) countries, aiming to determine their compliance with standard website practices. Based on the Library Website Evaluation Checklist (L-WEC) developed for this study, a content analysis is performed of 110 academic library websites. This research, being one of the first studies of its kind, should interest information professionals and educators responsible for developing and improving the quality of their websites. With the majority of academic users growing up in the Google generation, it is important to create more millennial-friendly websites that provide quick and easy access to Web-based services and content-rich information. 相似文献
