- Wilson, Communication in agriculture has two facets. Direct communication is defined as that in which feedback is inherent, while indirect communication involves the use of indirect information sources where users are removed from generators to varying degrees and feedback becomes difficult or impossible. In South African agriculture, nine different groups of agricultural information users can de identified. In addition, agriculture reflects the dichotomy inherent in the South African economy and can be divided into first and third-world sectors. The differences in the use of 30 indirect sources of agricultural information by different agriculturists in the two sectors are discussed. Direct communication between groups of agriculturists within and between the first and third-world sectors of South African agriculture is also considered. Ways in which libraries can enhance communication of agricultural information are suggested. (original)

- search through journal, Information is the key to innovation and self-sustaining development. It is the vehicle that carries all development efforts in all disciplines of human endeavor. Sustainable agricultural development must have its base on a sustainable information infrastructure and both of them should be viewed equally. This paper looks at some definition of sustainability and from there defines sustainable information management. The systems and infrastructures that have helped in building and providing a continuous information flow to maintain sustainable agriculture development are reviewed. Efforts being made by information professionals to conserve information materials are mentioned and information cooperation in the form of information systems/databases and networks are examined.

- James F. Evans Collection, As we move further into the electronics age, several agents of control are muscling their way into the business of communicating. Specifically, technology, fashion and a one-way mid-set are fighting for control over message development and delivery. This article advises land-grant university communicators on how they can recognize - and beat - these control agents, and how communicators can help land-grant universities overcome reputation deficit. We, as communicators, are in danger of losing control of our message. I am not talking about a shadowy conspiracy to subvert our civil liberties. I do not have any evidence of such a thing occurring. The control I am talking about concerns, first, the role of technology. Second, it concerns the way popular fashion shapes and often misshapes our messages. And, finally, it concerns our own intellectual honesty. I call it the problem of the One-Way Mind. Therefore, let me sketch how these agents of control are muscling into our business of being professional communicators. (author)
