“Information Workers are concerned with the form, content, arrangement,
navigation and preservation of information, and with making it accessible
and attractive to actual and potential users.They manage and support the
information needs of the Knowledge Economy.They are a considerable force
for social inclusion.They provide an essential ingredient for lifelong
learning and to an informed and civilised society.They are an indispensible
support to learning, teaching and research in academic institutions of
all kinds.” (ISNTO, 2001)
