- Descripcin
- The paper starts with a short critique on the substance level of the used terms “Information Society” and “Information Era”. Then the characteristics of the “citizen-user” are examined. Short definitions are provided for the terms Electronic, Digital, Virtual Library and Library Networks. A questioning is following concerning the level of development and the extent of exploitation of the Greek Libraries. The decisive factors that have formed the existing situation are underlined. The available tools and mechanisms that have been created and are provided by the National (Hellenic) Documentation Centre for the support and the development of the Greek Libraries are described. The exploitation of these tools combined with the ensuring of a series of presuppositions; permit the consideration of an optimistic perspective for the evolution of the Greek Libraries. This evolution is not expected to be other but their rendering into modern centres of identification, gathering, management and forwarding of what constitutes the essence of the “Information Era or Society”: the (information) content.
