- Summary:
-
The "information explosion" has produced a confused state in society; we have both information deprivation and alienation in the midst of all of our technological advances. Many towns are finding that the predicted wonders of cable television have not materialized and that the average citizen is not interested. But information and knowledge centers are developing in many communities with the goal of providing interaction and information programs, mediating between various segments of the community, and supplying groups with knowledge of public issues. Growth of these centers should continue so long as the managers reject the myths that profits can be made from selling information, that hardware is the key, and that we already know what information is wanted and needed. It is recommended that: 1) a model for community planning be developed, 2) a national information number be established, 3) a national study be commended, 4) information reach the local communities so they may make better decisions, and 5) the public library be investigated for its proper role.
