"Having access to information is seen as the cornerstone of any democratic society. The right of any individual to make decisions for themselves is entrenched within the principle, but their chance of making the decision is emboldened by their ability to inform themselves." Society philosophy, 2006

Bibliography
Following an essay set in the autumn term at University College London the society was founded to investigate how humans interact with changing modes of access to information. As an agency funded solely by a student loan, our findings are impartial and as such, have no political affiliation. We aim only to research and list new technologies and their impacts on the growing numbers of people who require access to information.

We aim to find out if the information industry is addressing those needs, and in order to do this, our research was carried out under the following categories:

Information - in public and law libraries

The fear of paper-free information

Information literacy
