NWEST Values: A Multidisciplinary Database for Northwest Issues in Environmental Science, Technology and Values

该项目将建立一个跨学科的美国西北部环境问题在线数据库，供希望了解其伦理、法律、社会和科学方面的教师、学者、研究人员和公众使用。该数据库被称为NWEST Values，将包括来自从事环境社会、法律和科学问题的广泛专家的总结、评论和相关出版物，以及来自政府机构的全文报告。该项目团队将与人文、社会科学、生物和物理科学、法律、采矿、农业、林业和环境工程等领域的研究人员合作。它将编制一个广泛的跨学科参考文献的注释书目。该数据库将特别包括大量有关美洲土著人和农村问题的信息。将通过连接全国350多个图书馆的卡尔系统联机提供资料，并通过全世界的互联网提供资料，并为没有电脑的人提供资料的软盘和纸本。

This project will develop an interdisciplinary, on-line database on environmental issues in the U.S. Northwest, for use by teachers, scholars, researchers and members of the public who wish to understand their ethical, legal, social and scientific aspects. Called NWEST Values, the database will include summary, review, and related publications from a wide range of specialists working on social, legal, and scientific questions in the environment, and full-text reports from government agencies. The project team will collaborate with researchers in the humanities, social sciences, biological and physical sciences, law, mining, agriculture, forestry, and environmental engineering. It will compile an extensive annotated bibliogaphy of interdisciplinary references. The database will specifically include a large amount of information relating to Native Americans and to rural concerns. Information will be available on-line through the CARL System that links over 350 libraries nationwide, through Internet worldwide, and diskettes and paper copies of the material for those without computer access.
