- Abstract
The automation of information has reached a qualitative lap with the advent of the World Wide Web. As a result, a new sociocultural infrastructure has surged, and the information ecology-all the agents that cooperate and compete to fulfil the information needs of the societies-has been decisively modified. As libraries, archives and other information services are part of this ecology, they are to be subjected to great changes in the near future. Eleven trends are examined, some of a general nature, and other specific of the information and documentation field. The general trends are digitization, media convergence, massive information, information technologies leverage, orientation toward data and information structures and the challenge of digital preservation. The specific trends that are analyzed are the generalization of information managament among the educated population, the advent of information management industries as key icons of our age, globalization, increased international specialization of work in the information field, and the need and opportunity for increased localization and segmentation.
