چکیده
افزایش روز افزون اطلاعات باعث شده است تا دوران معاصر را "عصر اطلاّعات" نامگذاری کنند. توسعه بدون تحقیق عملی نخواهد بود و برای تحقیق باید امکان دسترسی به اطلاّعات وجود داشته باشد. به دلیل وجود مشکلات عدیده‌ای که کشورهای در حال رشد با آنها مواجه هستند، این کشورها سهم ناچیزی در تولید اطلاّعات و بخصوص اطلاّعات علمی و فنی دارند و آگاهی از مطالب منتشر شده در دنیا و دسترسی به آنها برای مردم این کشورها کار آسانی نیست. مهمترین موانع مربوط به نیروی انسانی ماهر، مشکل زبان، موقعیت این کشورها از نظر زیر ساخت فن‌آوریها، ارتباطات و اطلاّعات و منابع مالی است، لیکن نگرش مسئولین اینگونه کشورها نسبت به اهمیّت و ارزش اطلاّعات نیز نقش بسیار حیاتی در این زمینه بازی می‌کند. با توجه به اهمیّت و همچنین دامنه وسیع این موانع، کشورهای در حال رشد برای مقابله با مشکلات موجود باید راه حلهای کوتاه مدّت و راه حلهای بلند مدّت را در نظر بگیرند. این مقاله سعی دارد ضمن بحث پیرامون موانع و مشکلات کنونی اشاعه و تبادل اطلاعات در کشورهای در حال رشد، راه حل مواجهه با این موانع را نیز پیشنهاد نماید.

چکیده [English]
Due to the ever-increasing amount of publications throughout the world the late 20th century has been called the ‘information era”. Development is based on research and research mainly depends on access to information. Due to a variety of problems, deVeloping countries’ contribution to the production of scientific and technical publications is trivial. Developing countries encounter many problems in meeting their information needs; among these problems, inadequate skilled personnel, lack of information infra-structure, lack of fund and language problems are of significance. However, the attitudes of governing bodies of these countries play a vital role in this respect. Due to the importance as well as the wide range of these barriers, developing countries must devise short-term and long-term plans. This article attempts to discuss the present situation of developing countries in terms of diffusion and dissemination of information and finally suggest how to solve the existing problems
