InfoAccess — platform for the distribution of Southern African information
Abstract
Local information distribution in electronic form in South Africa is a new and growing industry. Research shows that in any country the needs of users of information are largely for local information and to a lesser extent for overseas or external information. CSIR InfoAccess offers not only a local electronic information service to information seekers, but is also available to database owners wishing to distribute their own information into the market‐place. The link to the Worldnet Gateway is critical in this respect since it not only promotes the distribution process but also makes the service available to the non‐expert searcher.
