| contents | Developing Scientific and Technological Information Services in Sri Lanka. Schwarz, Stephan Developing Nations Information Centers Information Dissemination Information Services Information Systems Library Networks Library Services Research and Development Centers Research Libraries A discussion of objectives for an information and documentation center in science and technology is followed by a brief survey of Sri Lanka's research and development system, and an assessment of library and information services available from a research library network, particularly those developed by the Sri Lanka Scientific and Technological Information Center (SLSTIC). Deficiencies in the system for providing scientific and technological information are diagnosed, and a program is proposed to eliminate these through foreign grants to SLSTIC and a bilateral cooperative scheme. It is emphasized that even an efficient system of information provision does not have a strong impact unless combined with an active program for development of a socio-technological infrastructure capable of assimilating and supporting the information provided. Appendices contain background information on information services in Sri Lanka. (FM) |
