- AGRICOLA IND 92048816, Interest in technology transfer across academic disciplines highlights this paper. We reviewed an abstracting service via computer for the years 1981 thru 1989, concentrating on publication titles that included any of four key terms: diffusion of innovation; intrapreneurship; internal corporate venturing; and technology transfer. This computerized search located 828 pages in science and engineering and 1765 pages in the social sciences. In science and engineering, about 44% of the pages relate to specific cases of technology transfer, and about 27% have an international focus. The opposite is true in the social sciences: cases comprise about 25% of the pages, while 55% have an international focus. Economics, with 470 pages, dominates the writings within the social sciences, as well as elsewhere. In science and engineering, three areas published the most: electrical engineering (147 pages), agriculture (127), and multidisciplinary science (126). The findings suggest that researchers interested in technology transfer would benefit by adopting a multidisciplinary perspective.

- Notes:
- James F. Evans Collection, This study deals with the hypothesis that communication media of the West are comparatively more influential in exporting cultural imperialism to the socio-cultural disadvantage of developing countries. The purpose of this study is to determine the role of the powerful media of the West, particularly of the USA vis-a-vis other dominant factors which are considered effective tools of cultural exportation from the haves to the have-nots.

- AGRICOLA IND 92017549; Presented at the VIII World Congress of IAALD, May, 1990, Budapest, Hungary, The United States Agricultural Information Network (USAIN) is the first organization developed specifically to provide a national forum through which U.S. agricultural librarians might address many issues associated with the collection, access and delivery of agricultural information. 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)

- Notes:
- Economic simulation studies of the effects of bovine growth hormone (bGH) on the dairy industry usually assume that producers will have the incentive to adopt bGH and that aggregate milk supply will increase. Based on the description of per-cow milk yield response to bovine growth hormone (bGH), a short-run model of milk production is developed to analyze the farm-level incentives to adopt bGH. This analysis emphasizes that the incentives to adopt a new technology greatly depend on how it alters the existing production environment. Because higher levels of energy are needed in the cow to attain greater levels of production made possible with bGH, those farmers who can most easily and inexpensively expand energy levels in the cow will be most likely to adopt. The model identifies: (1) why farmers may not have the incentive to adopt the new technology; and (2) if farmers adopt bGH, they may not have the economic incentive to produce at the levels obtained in test studies.
