Agricultural and biological information—some remarks

Abstract

I am pleased and honoured to be asked to speak, but I speak with some trepidation as I have not always been the most active library user. Perhaps this is a good thing in the light of the Report of the British Library Review Panel on Agricultural Information! I am committed to the user end of the spectrum—providing information to the agricultural advisers. The information I want is biological and economic; I am also interested in its applicability and ease of use vis‐à‐vis farmers. I and the other members of the British Library Review Panel on Agricultural Information are therefore interested not just in biological information, but also in the economic context and other contexts, whereas the British Library Review Panel on Biological Information has worked within the framework of biology. I am therefore very interested in Dr Wyatt's paper.
