| Summary: | This speech, given in Istanbul on 3 December 1993 during a visit to Turkey, starts with an overview of public library services in Britain Following information on services offered to rural areas; the author refers a report published in 1993. This report highlights the main topics under discussion in Britain currently: (1) it is recognized that a modern public library is a very complicated organization serving a large clientele aiming to meet their very many requirements; (2) volunteers, new technologies and modem management and marketing techniques should be utilized to improve the services to rural areas; (3) although services to rural areas pose specific problems, people who live in these areas have the right to demand equal services; (4) although only some services can be offered directly, in rural areas, everyone should have equal opportunities in reaching all library and information services; (5) cooperation with local people by library authorities can be a solution to some of the problems. |
