- 'An Introduction to the critic of the theoric and practical challenges which face the stakeholders of the repositories of public knowledge in the phenomenon of the Information Society'. This essay intends to cover the most critical challenges the public repositories of knowledge face in the Information Society phenomenon. The study pretends to be a proposal for an integral theoretical framework to be used as a reference guide for public repositories of knowledge stakeholders: librarians, researchers, practitioners, authorities, etc. The methodology used was on-desk qualitative research and hermeneutics analysis and using document methods. Throughout the study an exegetic revision of the documents discusses the rigour or lack of rigour of the sources used. The challenges analyzed were: the definition of Information society; philosophical and scientific; economic; social, psychological and cultural; political; and technological. Each section and each challenge are full of challenges pretending the public repositories of knowledge should understand and overcome. From the literature reviewed plenty of evidence was found on the dilemma if libraries should provide free or charged access to Information and Communication Technologies. A position was taken: there should be a legislation where the right for people as a free of charge access and use of ICTs become a statutory and human rights; there should not be any charge for ICTs access or use. This challenge and this position was sustained and underpinned by some scholars. At the end, the technological challenges illustrate with abundant evidences that the best alternative solutions to tackle the lack of funds were found on the use of open source software and thin client server networking technologies. Both issues became the central challenges and discussions related to them appear spread throughout the essay.
