Full Title: Strategic issues in information : with special reference to developing countries - the world is experiencing an information revolution -- a revolution of the same magnitude as the industrial revolution. The librarian's concern has to become the scholar's access to information in an electronic world, See C06526 for original; Keynote address presented at the IAALD Regional Conference; 1988 November 21-24; the Universiti Pertanian, Serdang, Selangor, Malaysia, The United States is being revolutionized by the impact of powerful computers and telecommunications. The high technology is producing a society in which information, or knowledge cap[ital is emerging as a key economic resource. The technology imperative is not happening only in the United States: It is also of astonishing economic importance in the Pacific Rim and Northern European countries. Those with control of information will be the power brokers of the future. This has shifted dramatically the nature of the resources necessary for any nation to survive in the global economy. Possession of information capital will be more important than ordinary capital. The strategic issue held in common by the United States and developing countries is the need to possess information capital. The issue is the same, but the strategy is different. The basic strategies in each case are discussed. (original)
