Information Management in Agricultural Research

E.K. Samaha

Systems and Projects Development Branch, Library and Documentation Systems Division, Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO)(1)

The development of agricultural research in many developing countries has not been accompanied by the development of agricultural information services. The main problems in the dissemination of research results, the provision of library and documentation services, the development of person-to-person communication and the communication of information to decision-makers, farmers and other end-users are outlined and suggestions for improvements put forward. The international information systems, AGRIS and CARIS, are described and principles for the establishment of national agricultural information infrastructures are outlined.
