Abstract

This paper argues that though the information landscape has radically changed, the basic tenets of information science are still valid, are often unwittingly being applied and may again become more widely recognized. This new landscape is briefly illustrated with some selected examples of its size, dangers and current success stories. New models and approaches are beginning to emerge and some examples of these are presented. It is vital that these are encouraged and supported so that society and its citizens may become better informed.
