孟加拉国是最不发达国家之一，在所有与信息相关的部门，特别是在其图书馆和信息中心引入信息技术方面，一直面临着许多障碍。目前的工作集中在孟加拉国北部，与孟加拉国首都相比，在图书馆和信息中心信息技术(IT)应用不足方面，该地区受到的打击更大。因此，这项研究工作有一个完整的研究计划和程序，旨在调查环境，找出障碍，并探索改善图书馆信息技术应用的可能性。这项研究考虑了这些选定图书馆的各种系统、服务、问题和前景。此外，研究还展示了如何利用现代信息技术(计算机、传真、电子邮件)，包括提供电话、复印机、电视、缩微胶片、缩微胶片等，改善这些图书馆的整体条件和服务。本次调查将揭示这些图书馆的整体状况，包括它们在应用信息技术方面遇到的问题，并提出必要的建议，以帮助改善它们在信息传播过程中的服务。关键词：信息技术、图书馆服务、图书情报学、信息中心。
Bangladesh is one of the least developing countries, which have been facing a lot of obstacles in introducing information technology in all information-related sectors, especially in its libraries and information centers. This current work is centered on the northern part of Bangladesh, perceived to be worse hit in terms of inadequacy of the application of information technology (IT) in library and information centers, when compared with the capital city of Bangladesh. Therefore, this research work, made with a full study plan and procedures seeks to investigate the environment, identify barriers and explore possibilities of improving IT application in libraries. The study took into account the various systems, services, problems and prospects of these selected libraries. Besides this, the study also showed how to improve the entire condition and services of these libraries by adopting modern technology such as information technology (computer, fax, e-mail,) including provision of phone, photocopier, television, microfiche, microfilm etc. This investigation will reveal the entire condition of these libraries including the problems encountered by them in applying information technology and put forward necessary recommendation, which may be helpful in improving their services in information dissemination process. Key words: Information technology (IT), library service, library and information science, information centers.
