- The benefits of the knowledge society can be realized for the disadvantaged. Information and communication technologies have the potential to support sustainable development. Huge infrastructure investments and access initiatives mean that the majority of the world’s population will have telecommunications access in the next 1015 years. But developing skills and content will be the biggest challenge, and there is real risk of perpetuating the ‘digital divide’. The G8 Okinawa Charter on the Global Information Society (2000) and the Global Knowledge Partnership promote initiatives to bridge the digital divide. The library and information profession can make a critical contribution, by providing access, structuring knowledge, imparting information skills, preserving heritage and inspiring trust. But a public relations campaign is needed to raise awareness of what the profession can offer, and to win it a voice in the digital divide debate.
