Electronic Communication and Information Retrieval

电子通信和信息检索拟议项目的重点是为南达科他州EPSCoR调查人员开发最先进的通信和信息检索系统。新技术将用于克服现有先进开发计划集群内物理分离的研究中心所造成的有效协作困难。将执行三项具体活动：1)将在最近成立的农村发展电信网上发起一系列电信讨论会；2)所有调查人员均可接入互联网并获得使用互联网的指导，以便调查人员之间、项目总监与调查人员之间以及调查人员与其在南达科他州以外的同事之间进行日常沟通；3)将向调查人员提供使用Uncover2的机会，这是一种信息检索和文件提供服务，以便他们可以利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.
