Abstract

It has become known that information is especially important in our contemporary lives, individuals or societies. Information has a great role in successful administrative work and preventing decisions and taking them at various administrative, social and political levels .. and it has an active role in the success of national and national development plans, both economic and non-economic. In addition to its money of direct influence in the research and development of all activities related to the movement of society and the state, and catching up with science and technology. In addition to all this, the information has a clear and significant influence in the media towards changing, fixing or destabilizing positions in favor of or against the political system ... On the basis of the above, it has become almost unanimous that the age in which we live today is the age of information, after the world has passed through an era The industrial revolution in the first half of this century ... But some writers are free to describe the feature of the era by other names, such as the era of electronic computers, or the juice of satellites and communications, or the era of laser discs ... But we say to some of them that computers have found a basis to help people In storing the vast amount of information and expediting its handling, processing and retrieval, I found satellites and the rest of communication technologies to secure the transmission and circulation of information in its new global character, across continents and distant countries, and to deliver it to the beneficiaries as quickly as possible, and I found hoarded laser disks to enhance the role of computers and satellites. And lasers are what innovations and solutions existed for the sake of information and to facilitate the storage of its growing quantities, its processing and control, and then retrieving it accurately, quickly and appropriately, and the slogan of today in information centers and their banks, in various regions of the contemporary world is: Providing the appropriate information to the right user at the right time. In order to achieve this slogan, information centers and institutions should invest the required and appropriate information and communication technology to ensure the flow of the required quantity and the appropriate type of information planners, researchers, decision-makers and other beneficiaries.
