Libraries can also play a central role in making information technology generally known and accepted, thus helping to prevent the population from becoming even further divided between those with considerable expertise in the field and those who are IT-illiterate. The plan focuses on five areas. The first concerns networking. If the central aim is to be achieved, all libraries must have network access . They must also possess the skills necessary to make proficient use of the network's capability to improve services to the public.
Expertise is therefore the second area of focus.
A further condition is that information must be obtained before it can be passed on to the library user. Access to information is therefore the third subject of interest. The fourth area concerns the librarys's role in spreading of information from the public authorities and the fifth relates to the role of libraries with regard to life-long learning . As previously mentioned, an important step along the IT-road is for all public libraries to obtain network access and this aim is well on its way to being achieved. Connection to the Internet makes it possible for a small library to function in line with a larger institution and will create nearly equal conditions throughout the country for people to enjoy access to knowledge, culture and information.
