A User-Based Polar Information System: Coordinating Responsibilities Through the U.S. Polar Information Working Group

该项目建议协调美国继续开展的活动， 改善了对极地书目信息资源的访问。 极地科学界继续发表研究成果 每年有15，000到20，000篇新论文被编入索引。 将这些研究成果交付到桌面是至关重要的 极地信息的每一个潜在用户，以最方便用户的方式。该项目为三个 1994年、1995年和1996年在联合王国剑桥、华盛顿特区华盛顿和阿拉斯加安克雷奇举行极地信息工作组年会。代表提供极地信息和/或信息服务的美国机构的个人将参加每次会议。 有效传播极地信息是必要的， 美国进行研究和管理活动规定 在1984年的《北极研究和政策法》（1990年修订）中，美国 北极研究计划及其修订，以及美国南极计划 （USAP）。

The project proposes to coordinate continuing U.S. activities that have resulted in improved access to polar bibliographic information resources. Publication of research results by the polar scientific community continues to increase rapidly with 15,000 to 20,000 new papers being indexed annually. It is essential to deliver access to these research results to the desktop of every potential user of polar regions information in the most ,user-friendly manner possible. This project provides funding for three annual meetings of a polar information working group, in 1994, 1995 and 1996, to be held in Cambridge, UK, Washington, DC, and Anchorage, Alaska. Individuals representing U.S. bodies that provide polar information and/or information services will participate in each meeting. Effective dissemination of polar regions information is necessary for the United States to carry out research and management activities provided for in the Arctic Research and Policy Act of 1984 (amended 1990), the U.S. Arctic Research Plan and its revisions, and the U.S. Antarctic Program (USAP).
