- AGRICOLA IND 92047820; presented at IAALD Symposium on "Advances in Information Technology", September, 1991, Beltsville, MD, Much research literature in the sciences, and particularly in agriculture related sciences, originates from private and government research stations, is published in the form of technical reports or technical papers, and often does not appear in readily available published literature. The requirement for prompt delivery of these materials to researchers, combined with the evolving sophistication of researchers in the application of computers to research problems and the increasing demands to integrate library support into scientists; research functions, provides strong incentive to explore computer based alternatives for delivery of those documents that overcome the drawbacks of existing technical and procedural mechanisms, such as facsimile and postal delivery of photocopies. Fourteen institutions are taking part in this research and demonstration project which electronically transmits document images to remote sites using the national Internet telecommunications systems.

- scanning technology, AGRICOLA IND 92047818; presented at IAALD Symposium on "Advances in Information Technology", September, 1991, Beltsville, MD, This paper addresses the questions most frequently asked about scanning : Why are we doing it? How exactly is it done? What does it cost? The answer to why we do it touches on the global forces that are shaping the Information Age. The many purposes for which scanning systems can be sued represent a force in themselves that is explored in some detail. Regardless of the purpose, image scanning and optical character recognition (OCR) systems are made up of much the same components, and these are described. The focus is on operational procedures, work flow, throughput, staffing needs, and costs based on the experiences of the U.S. National Agricultural Text Digitizing Project at NAL. (original)
