Description
Abstract:This research presents the design of a specialized information center which will respond to and complement a broad, social or multidisciplinary program. The model has been developed within the framework of the marine resources program of Texas A&M University. The primary goal of the center which has been developed is to provide a focus for information activities within the Sea Grant Program. The major effort of the center is directed to three areas: (1) resource information, (2) the information distribution system, and (3) auxiliary services. Computer and microform technologies are utilized where practical. Major file s associated with the resource information systems include: (1) a microfiche file of technical information, (2) an expertise file, (3) an activities file, and (4) a facilities file. Projections for future research which would improve the availability of marine resources information are discussed.
