Electronic Communication and Information Retrieval

93-53655 Engstrom电子通信和信息检索拟议项目的重点是开发一个国家的最先进的通信和信息检索系统的EPSCoR调查员在南达科他州。 将利用新技术克服高级发展计划现有集群内物理上独立的研究中心在有效合作方面造成的困难。 将开展三项具体活动：（1）将通过最近启用的农村发展电信网发起一系列电信研讨会;（2）将向所有调查人员提供因特网接入和使用指导，以便调查人员之间、项目主任与调查人员之间以及调查人员与南达科他州以外的同事之间能够进行日常交流; 3）研究人员将获得Uncover 2，这是一项信息检索和文件传递服务，以便他们可以使用该国的研究图书馆。

93-53655 Engstrom Electronic Communication and Information Retrieval The proposed project focuses on developing a state-of-the-art communication and information retrieval system for the EPSCoR investigators in South Dakota. New technology will be utilized to overcome difficulties in effective collaboration caused by physically separate centers of research within the existing clusters of the Advanced Development Program. Three specific activities will be implemented: 1) A telecommunications seminar series will be initiated over the recently inaugurated Rural Development Telecommunications Network; 2) All investigators will be provided access to Internet and instruction in its use so that daily communication between investigators, between the Project Director and investigators, and between investigators and their colleagues outside of South Dakota can occur; 3) Investigators will be provided with access to Uncover2, an information retrieval and document delivery service so that they can have the research libraries of the country available to them.
