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，这些活动已经改善了对极地书目信息资源的获取。极地科学界发表的研究成果继续迅速增加，每年有15 000至20 000篇新论文被编入索引。必须以尽可能方便用户的方式，将这些研究成果提供给极地区域信息的每个潜在用户的桌面。该项目为一个极地信息工作组将于1994年、1995年和1996年在英国剑桥、华盛顿特区和阿拉斯加安克雷奇举行的三次年度会议提供经费。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。有效传播极地地区信息对于美国开展1984年《北极研究和政策法案》(1990年修订)、美国北极研究计划及其修订版和美国南极计划(USAP)规定的研究和管理活动是必要的。

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).
