Information Transfer Cycle on Digital Medium

The Digital Information Transfer Cycle, based on F.W. Lancaster’s model, explains how information is created, published, organized, distributed, and used within a continuous system linking authors, publishers, information centres, and users. It includes stages such as authorship, primary publication, acquisition, organization, secondary dissemination, and user assimilation, enabling efficient access to knowledge in both print and digital environments. Feedback from users generates new information, restarting the cycle and supporting research, learning, decision-making, and societal development through effective information flow across global communities, institutions, and modern communication networks, ensuring continuous knowledge growth for future innovation worldwide today across diverse user communities everywhere.
