Abstract
This paper examines the particular problems faced by developing countries in providing information services. The use of CD‐ROM is considered for online searching, provision of databases relevant to the Third World, as a source of bibliographic records, and to establish public access catalogues. Future developments of the technology are examined. Particular reference is made to Papua New Guinea.
