- Keynote address presented at the IAALD Regional Conference; 1988 November 21-24; the Universiti Pertanian, Serdang, Selangor, Malaysia, The factors limiting the effective use of agricultural information in developing countries are identified as: lack of knowledge about the users' needs; inadequate access and/or lack of awareness of conventional and unconventional sources of information; lack of attention to the creation of local data sources; lack of knowledge about how to find information and how best to communicate it. The solutions are seen to be: creating an awareness of the value of information; getting governments and agencies to provide the necessary information sources, equipment, staff and training; getting closer cooperation on information initiatives and projects that really are needed. The key issue is seen to be the lack of a global long-term plan that could be used as a guide for individual governments and agencies. (original)

- Full Title: Strategic issues in information : with special reference to developing countries - the world is experiencing an information revolution -- a revolution of the same magnitude as the industrial revolution. The librarian's concern has to become the scholar's access to information in an electronic world, See C06526 for original; Keynote address presented at the IAALD Regional Conference; 1988 November 21-24; the Universiti Pertanian, Serdang, Selangor, Malaysia, The United States is being revolutionized by the impact of powerful computers and telecommunications. The high technology is producing a society in which information, or knowledge cap[ital is emerging as a key economic resource. The technology imperative is not happening only in the United States: It is also of astonishing economic importance in the Pacific Rim and Northern European countries. Those with control of information will be the power brokers of the future. This has shifted dramatically the nature of the resources necessary for any nation to survive in the global economy. Possession of information capital will be more important than ordinary capital. The strategic issue held in common by the United States and developing countries is the need to possess information capital. The issue is the same, but the strategy is different. The basic strategies in each case are discussed. (original)

The objectives of the network include: to provide a forum for discussion of agricultural information issues; to take a leadership role in the formation of a national information policy as related to agriculture; and to make recommendations to the National Agricultural Library on agricultural information matters. The network promotes and assists efforts by the cooperating agencies to: determine the availability and location of resources; develop and implement resource sharing agreements; explore the potentials of shared collection development programs; and maintain and preserve present and future resources. USAIN strives to ensure the fullest possible sharing of information and library materials in the most cost-effective manner. The success of these efforts will help to ensure equality of access and availability of resources for agricultural information users throughout the United States. (original)

- AGRICOLA IND 92017550; Presented at the VIII World Congress of IAALD, May, 1990, Budapest, Hungary, The market for literature information services is ruled by supra-professional services, a part of them being produced in the framework of international cooperation. Specialized services are still offered with an increasing tendency. These series aim at certain needs of certain groups of users or certain fields. the question is discussed how such services can win recognition on a market with growing competition? What are their advantages and disadvantages? What conditions have to be fulfilled to be accepted by the user? What marketing problems do these databases have? The database PHYTOMED, which is a specialized database on phytomedicine, serves as an example.
