Abstract

Discusses research related to the establish‐ment of technology parks in general, and in particular the technology park of King Mongkut’s University of Technology in Thailand. Uniquely in Thailand, this involved the university library, which gave rise to a number of key questions addressed in the project: Is there any role for the library in such a collaboration? What are the information needs and the information‐seeking behaviour of tenant staff members? What kind of information services could be offered to them? The main objective of the research was to develop a suitable model for a Thai university library in information provision to tenant firms in the first Thai technology park. This model, based on Australian data, was fine‐tuned to meet local Thai social and economic conditions.
