- AGRICOLA IND 92017546; Presented at the VIII World Congress of IAALD, May, 1990, Budapest, Hungary, In 1979 the Danish Veterinary and Agricultural Documentation Center was founded as a research project and was financed by the Ministry of Agriculture and the Danish Agricultural and Veterinary Research Council. In 1984 the Center became permanently financed on the national budget. The Center has the following objectives: to function as the Danish AGRIS input center; to supply qualified on-line searching in international agricultural clients, research institutions and students; to teach on-line searching techniques; and to supply document delivery for search customers. During the past 10 years the Documentation Center has become an important part of the information network in Denmark. Demonstrations of on-line searching are a natural part of the regular library information course at the Royal Veterinary and Agricultural University because the Center is a department of the library. The placement of the Documentation center is a great help for scientists at the University who are starting new projects. Master's degree students are offered a free on-line search for use in writing their thesis. Research institutions belonging to the Ministry of Agriculture, food science and drug companies, and private veterinaries are some of the Center's most frequent users outside of the University. The Danish Veterinary and Agricultural Library supplies close to 50% of the literature ordered based on the on-line searches. The remainder is obtained through AGLINET (original)
