| Abstract: | At present, we have moved from „a world dominated by cultural isolation in a world where intercultural factors dominate, from an era characterized by cultural autonomy of traditional isolated groups to an era of generalized interrelations and communication”. Our time has the great historical privilege of moving from a world of isolated civilizations, based to some extent on different spaces and times, to a single world, which is characterized by the same space (world market) and the same time (synchronicity of all events). The positive meaning of globalization is that of progress. Accordingly, among many other aspects of globalization, there is an increase in the role of modern information and communication means used in large structures of information and documentation. The major difference between industrial and information age is that in the new economy the information consumers are also its producers, and mediators of information need to be aware who their „customers” are. Particular attention should be paid to the concept of information goods, these being considered the products and services that can be distributed in digital form, such as a book, a movie or a phone conversation. |
