Conceptualizing Information Dissemination

Chatterjee, Sidharta and Samanta, Mousumi (2021): Conceptualizing Information Dissemination.

Abstract

This paper aims to conceptualize the information dissemination process. It also attempts to address critical issues regarding library access policies. It upholds user accessibility and dissemination of information that are essential components of library operations. The main purpose and goal of every library are to allow its users secure access to information holdings. Under no circumstances should library policies deter patrons from accessing library contents. Libraries should inspire readers from all walks of life to develop or cultivate the habit of learning. This paper addresses these issues with special regard to removing obstacles and barriers to access information in libraries.
