Important results of a survey on "Information needs and information behavior in extension service in agriculture, home economics and nutrition" are given. This study was carried out by the Department for Economic and Social Sciences of the Technical University of Munich-Weihenstephan from May, 1979 to November, 1981. It revealed, by interviewing 14 leading personnel of documentation centers for nutrition, agriculture and forestry, that extension agents only form a very small sector of the centers' user. Various surveys using personal as well as written interviews and participant observation of extension agents resulted in a host of data on the determinants of extension agents' behavior toward information in general and "prophylactic" and "curative" in particular. Conclusions are drawn on optimal configurations of the future sources of information in the field of extension services in nutrition, home economics, and agriculture.

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)
search through journal, Although Ghana is mainly an agricultural country, the provision for agricultural information has been inadequate. There is a wide gap between the demand for agricultural information and the supply of data. This paper describes the state of agricultural information provision in Ghana, highlighting on various problems such as the unavailability and production of reliable statistical information; deficiencies in local agricultural information sources and services; and the lack of formal courses on agricultural information at the only library school in the country. Improved methods for disseminating agricultural information in Ghana are discussed. (author)
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.

6 pages., via website,Ryerson Review of Journalism., Between the hours of about 4 p.m. to midnight, Ashleigh Weeden goes dark. Not for the usual reasons, though. In Weeden’s southwestern Ontario town, the internet connection becomes—for all practical purposes—nonexistent during those hours. The PhD student at the University of Guelph lives in Ariss, Ontario, a “dispersed rural community” sandwiched between urban centres like Guelph and Kitchener. Despite paying about $250 monthly for internet access, she finds herself shut out of the internet. “…[S]ometimes [internet speed] goes one, maybe half a megabyte down,” she says. “I can’t grade, I can’t do anything, there’s no point, I might as well give up until about midnight.”
