Describes the devastation caused to public, school and other kinds of libraries and public records by the tsunami which hit the coasts of Sri Lanka and other Asian countries on 26 December 2004. Outlines the rebuilding efforts now under way, including the establishment of a national disaster management committee for library and information services and archives, the involvement of local communities and the response of the international community. Notes that the rebuilding of the village-based social fabric in the coastal zone of Sri Lanka is the principal challenge at present. Emphasizes the need to keep libraries on the reconstruction agenda and to establish an international rapid response team able to team up with local librarians, archivists, archaeologists and others in countries affected by similar disasters to identify vulnerable resources, assess the damage and take remedial action.

The globalization of information is strongly identified with information and communications technologies (ICTs). The Nigerian librarian may be constrained from maximizing ICT usage and application but has many opportunities and new possibilities for the future in a globalized economic system. The paper suggests that the local, state, and federal governments in Nigeria should increase the budget allocations and resources allocated to education and information as investments in the human capital required to maximize the benefits of ICT applications in a globalized system.

In 2004 the Norwegian Parliament adopted a new article on the freedom of expression in the Constitution. The problems confronting a liberal society as considered in this connection are discussed. Special attention is given to the conditions for the freedom of information in a modern society. The problems of the information policy of the public authorities are given special attention, as are also the problems and possibilities caused by the new technological development. The importance of the institutional setting and the need for diversity are emphasized.
