National Information Policy

Author

Abstract

National information policy seeks to put into practice the notion that the social and economic system will function more efficiently if improved information-flows to the decision-making centers can be ensured. The essence of such a policy emerges as a problem of resource allocation. Already, an information industry of impressive proportions has developed. Parallel with this development, the scope of information policy has widened from a preoccupation with science to a full appreciation of the integrated nature of the information process which involves inquiring, communicating and deciding. Those responsible for shaping information policy must determine the appropriate mix of information inputs to achieve social objectives, while at the same time they must have regard for equity considerations.
