VII A VIEW FROM BRAZIL

Abstract

Factors that influence library planning in Brazil include its large size, its very young population, its struggling semi‐industrialized economy, the uneven level of education, and low levels of research activity and publishing output. Modernization means that the demand for documents is potentially very large. Document supply will be organized through different economic or administrative sectors, such as agriculture, energy, or education. However, these will need to be co‐ordinated to avoid gaps or unnecessary duplication in subject coverage, and some degree of centralization is desirable.
