The National Library of Education is the largest federally funded library in the world devoted entirely to education. In March 1994, Congress created this new national library, bringing together the former U.S. Department of Education Research Library; the 1-800 user service; INet (ED/OERI's Internet site and services); and the Technology Resources Center. These units now operate in partnership with the ERIC to carry out reference and referral services; collection and technical services; resource sharing and cooperation, including Internet Services (INet); and marketing/public relations.       NLE is planning a network of national education technology and related resources. The network will promote greater cooperation and resource sharing among education and library professionals, policymakers, the public and other providers and repositories of education information in America. It will also apply information science, computer and telecommunications technologies for the enhancement of education information dissemination.

Information explosion is the common phenomenon in the modern era in which no library can stand alone in fulfilling the information needs and requirements of its users. Resource sharing provides the means to maximize the usage of library collection irrespective of its type. Networking of libraries facilitates resource sharing among the participating libraries in an effective manner and it indirectly facilitates marketing of library sources among a group of libraries. Technology alone is not sufficient to bring together the sources. The attitudes of the people involved in the information dissemination are also a decisive factor in determining the success of resource sharing through networking of libraries. This chapter presents the attitude of information professionals for effective resource sharing and networking of academic libraries in the southern districts of Tamil Nadu, India. The study revealed that library and information science professionals have a positive attitude towards resource sharing and networking of libraries.

Singapore has been taking various steps to develop its information resources since the publication of the Library 2000 report in 1994, which was preceded by the IT2000 plan in 1991. Libraries have been officially recognized as an integral part of the country's information infrastructure. A National Library Board was set up in 1996, to develop national and public library services and to spearhead collaboration with other government agencies in promoting access to information. A clearer distinction is being made between National Library services and public library services, both of which have been provided by the National Library. A National Reference and Information Service will include a National Reference Library, a Singapore Resource Library, and a Multimedia Information Centre. The public library system will be restructured to include five regional libraries, to serve the educational, informational, recreational and business needs of each region; 18 community libraries, catering primarily for the residents of Housing Development Board towns; and around 100 neighbourhood libraries, situated in HDB flats and currently aimed at children below the age of ten. Efforts are being made to coordinate national collection strategy, to orient services to markets and to create links with business and the community. The recognition of technology as a key enabler has led to several major initiatives. It is also recognized that technologically adept and information-oriented librarians are needed, and educational programmes to produce them are being developed, as well as short term recruitment and training activities. Research in library and information science is also encouraged. The Library 2000 initiative is part of a wider picture of fostering the cultural and intellectual capital of Singapore.

Informacinės visuomenės plėtotės kontekste visuminis požiūris į informacijos valdymą dažniausiai remiasi informacijos kaip ištekliaus, turinčio vertę ir naudą, apibrėžtimis. Tai leidžia suvokti informacijos išteklius ir jų valdymą kaip priemonę institucijos, organizacijos strateginėms pozicijoms stiprinti bei pasitelkiant modernias informacines technologijas užtikrinti efektyvų vartotojų informacinį aprūpinimą. Viešasis sektorius, kuris apima įvairias valstybės ir savivaldybių išlaikomas institucijas, veiklos procese apdoroja įvairaus pobūdžio informaciją, kuri turi užtikrinti ne tik efektyvią institucijų veiklą, bet ir informacijos sklaidą. Prieigos prie viešosios informacijos didinimas turi reikšmingų ekonominių ir socialinių pasekmių, kai viešojo sektoriaus informacija padeda sukurti pridėtinę vertę ir atneša papildomų pajamų ir pelno verslo subjektui. Šio tyrimo tikslas – apibrėžti teorines informacijos valdymo paradigmas, išanalizuoti ir įvertinti Lietuvos ministerijų informacinę veiklą.Reikšminiai žodžiai: informacijos valdymas, viešasis sektorius, ministerijos, informacijos ištekliai, informacinės sistemos, informacinės veiklos planavimas, informacijos sklaida, informacinės veiklos kontrolėInformation management in the public sector: Lithuanian ministries caseZenona Atkočiūnienė, Erika Janiūnienė Summary In the information society context, the holistic ap­proach to information management often refers to in­formation as a resource. This attitude allows to under­stand the information resources management as a tool to strengthen the institution’s and organization’s strate­gic positions and to ensure customers of the effective information supply using modern technologies. The public sector processes different types of information to maintain the effective functioning of the state and municipal institutions. Access to public information increases the economic and social effects by offering additional revenues and profits to a business entity. The aim of the study was to define the theoretical informa­tion management paradigms, to analyze and evaluate information processes in Lithuanian ministries. The qualitative analysis (experts’ interviews in Lithuanian ministries) indicated that there are no co­herent information resources management policies and strategies; information management and coor­dination responsibilities aren’t concentrated in one institution; Lithuanian ministries use different in­formation systems which create the interoperability problem and cannot provide an effective information dissemination among the ministries; public relations departments or the appropriate professionals are responsible for information services and products (reviews, analytical reference materials, reports); control of information processes is concentrated in information technology operations and its safety and archival documents’ management audit.
