Information policies and libraries, beginning at the beginning

Abstract

Information policies do not occur in the abstract, as part of a theory or science of information, they do not exist in isolation, isolated from the organized action of society as a whole. While the productive sector may have a clear perspective of where they want to go, the field of information policy corresponds to national governments. In order to achieve the goals that Information policy has raised in the information society, they necessarily have to enroll as part of public policies, especially those related to social development strategies, and with each country's educational effort. The library as a social entity has always served as a repository, making available materials that meet the information needs of the population, as such it should be seen as an integral part of public and information policy.
