Text of a speech given on 1 April 1993 during the Library Week. Difficulties faced by landcape architects, who do research work, in access to information have been expressed as lack of guidance on how and where to find information; limited open hours or not being abl? to take photocopies even if the service is open beyond office hours; lack of a thesaurus fo r landscape architecture to choose the right terms for an online literature search; insufficiency of the number o f periodicals available in the country’; lack of copying facilities for nonbook materials such as plans, slides, engravings, sound and video cassettes.
