This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject and investigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source, and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed is for the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator. As the BRIN-PR project developed, it detected the necessity of improving researcher's productivity by facilitating timely access to scientific information essential in their work. As the Puerto Rico research community becomes more competitive, more grants will be awarded, attracting in turn more scholars and offering more research opportunities for the young investigators. The amount of effort and time invested by researchers in obtaining the supporting information needed in their work is quite significant, so any gains mean that more time would be available for research specific activities. Information not received at all or received late is a serious handicap compromising deadlines and results. Besides, improvement in on line access to information will benefit not only investigators but also Faculty and students, resulting in a global improvement for the academic community in Puerto Rico. As result of the above considerations, AABRE-PR has decided to create, and continue developing the Access to Biomedical Electronic Scientific Information (ABESI) project. Specific Aims 1. To improve the on line library holdings a. Switch to on line journals. b. Make sure all on line journals are "Activated". c. Include Libraries in existing consortia to get "more for less". d. Choose carefully the core list of journals needed by investigators. e. Complement subscriptions to specific journals by licensing full-text journal Databases 2. To improve the Inter-Library-Loan systems (ILL). a. Enlist libraries in the OCLC network (Online Computer Library Center). b. Send library representatives to the OCLC's 3-day training course in Atlanta. c. Assure that patron's ILL requests are made on line and not on paper forms. d. Register libraries as participants in the DOCLINE (NLM networking for Inter Library Loans). e. Be able to access other libraries holdings to know what they have. f. Purchase, install and use the ARIEL software to receive the loans in high quality formats, and update the necessary hardware (PC and scanner). g. License, install and use the ILLiad software (Inter Library Loan Internet Accessible Database) to manage the Inter-Library-Loan system, if required by the number of Inter- Library-Loans of a given institution. 3. Improve communication between Libraries and Investigators a. Publish on the institutional Web pages the resources available to the researchers, and the rules and limitations in their use. b. Publish on line the listings of all journals and databases available on line or in printed or other formats. c. Provide a means of feed-back on the web pages from the users to solve their day-to day problems and to offer technical assistance if required. d. Keep patrons informed of relevant changes and updates in the available resources or the rules for using them. 4. Implement a Pay-per-view or purchase-on-demand system a. Open a PREPAID account with INFOTRIEVE or other suitable supplier of information to be controlled by the Libraries and used by the researchers as a last-resort in getting scientific information. b. Encourage Librarians and Investigators to use the purchasing judiciously (checking first their holdings and trying the ILL system). 5. Improve Investigators' proficiency in using search engines to find information. a. Organize hands-on Workshops for different search engines used by the researchers. b. Post tutorials and help systems on the Institution¿s Web pages related do searching for information. c. Foster subscription to "Alerts" based on keywords, for each Investigator. 6. Improve Investigators' proficiency in managing personal Reference Databases. a. Purchase End Note or Reference Manager Software license for each Investigator. b. Organize hands-on workshops on using End Note or Reference Manager and on managing their personal databases of scientific information. 7. Coordinate the activities acting as a liaison between all participants on a continuous basis. a. To fulfill the objective of this aim, frequent meetings and personal contact of the Director of ABESI with all the participants will be maintained on a permanent basis to interchange ideas, problems and to share solutions which the Director will recommend, to be evaluated and implemented by the concerned. b. ABESI Director will report advances, difficulties and planning to the Steering Committee, and will make the corrections the Committee might deem necessary.

该子项目是利用NIH/NCRR资助的中心赠款提供的资源的许多研究子项目之一。子项目和研究者（PI）可能从另一个NIH来源获得主要资金，因此可以在其他CRISP条目中表示。所列机构为中心，不一定是研究者所在机构。随着BRIN-PR项目的发展，它发现有必要通过促进及时获得工作中必不可少的科学信息来提高研究人员的生产力。 随着波多黎各研究界变得更具竞争力，将颁发更多的赠款，从而吸引更多的学者，并为年轻的研究人员提供更多的研究机会。研究人员在获取工作所需的辅助信息方面投入了大量的精力和时间，因此，任何收获都意味着有更多的时间可用于具体的研究活动。完全没有收到资料或收到得太晚是影响最后期限和结果的一个严重障碍。此外，在线获取信息的改进不仅有利于研究人员，也有利于教师和学生，从而使波多黎各学术界得到全面改善。由于上述考虑，AABRE-PR决定创建并继续开发生物医学电子科学信息获取（ABESI）项目。 具体目标1.改善网上图书馆馆藏。切换到在线日志。B.确保所有联机日记帐都已“激活”。C.将图书馆纳入现有的联盟，以“少花钱多办事”。D.仔细选择研究者所需的核心期刊列表。e.通过授权全文期刊数据库来补充对特定期刊的订阅2.改进图书馆间借阅系统。a.在OCLC网络（联机计算机图书馆中心）中登记图书馆。B.派遣图书馆代表参加OCLC在亚特兰大举办的为期3天的培训课程。C.确保客户的ILL申请是在线提出的，而不是纸质表格。D.将图书馆登记为DOCLINE（NLM馆际贷款网络）的参与者。e.能够访问其他图书馆馆藏，以了解他们有什么。F.购买、安装和使用ARIEL软件，以高质量的格式接收贷款，并更新必要的硬件（PC和扫描仪）。G.许可，安装和使用ILLiad软件（馆际互借互联网可访问数据库）来管理馆际互借系统，如果给定机构的馆际互借数量需要。 3.改善图书馆和研究者之间的沟通。在机构网页上公布研究人员可用的资源，以及使用这些资源的规则和限制。B.在线发布所有在线或印刷或其他格式的期刊和数据库的列表。C.在网页上提供用户反馈的方式，以解决他们的日常问题，并在需要时提供技术援助。D.让读者了解可用资源或使用规则的相关更改和更新。 4.实施按次付费或按需购买系统。在INFOTRIEVE或其他合适的信息提供商处开设预付帐户，由图书馆控制，并由研究人员作为获取科学信息的最后手段使用。B.鼓励图书馆员和调查员明智地使用采购（首先检查他们的馆藏并尝试ILL系统）。 5.提高调查人员使用搜索引擎查找信息的熟练程度。a.为研究人员使用的不同搜索引擎组织实践研讨会。B.在该机构的网页上发布教程和帮助系统相关的搜索信息。C.根据关键词为每位研究者订阅“警报”。 6.提高研究者管理个人参考数据库的熟练程度。a.为每位研究者购买End Note或Reference Manager软件许可证。B.组织关于使用End Note或Reference Manager以及管理其个人科学信息数据库的实践研讨会。 7.作为所有参与者之间的联络人，持续协调各项活动。a.为了实现这一目标，将长期保持ABESI主任与所有参与者的频繁会议和个人接触，以交流想法、问题和分享主任将建议的解决方案，由有关方面评估和实施。B. ABESI主任将向指导委员会报告进展、困难和计划，并将作出委员会认为必要的更正。
