The Options Available in the Absence of Full Technological Capabilities: the Full Potentials for the Law of the Sea Documentation Centre in the Nairobi University Library,Kenya
Abstract
ABSTRACT: Electronic information management relies heavily on the
technological capability of a nation. This must be backed by good
national and international communication and telecommunication
networks. In the absence of these, it becomes difficult, even with top of
the range computer equipment to effectively utilize and manage
information, especially in the area of information dissemination.
Since its inception, The Law of the Sea Documentation Center in
Nairobi has always provided good computer equipment for information
management. Our national communication and telecommunication
network has been the biggest drawback when it comes to information
dissemination. Nevertheless, the documentation center has exploited all
avenues available to ensure that the collection is utilized. Heavy
utilization of the collection has been on the increase. The options
available to information workers in a country with poor communication
and telecommunication infrastructure is the thrust of this paper.
