| contents | Proceedings of Military Librarians' Workshop (16th, October 2-4, 1972) Technology Transfer. Information Services Information Systems Library Cooperation National Libraries Special Libraries Technology Transfer Workshops The major emphasis of this workshop is on "Technology Transfer." Although there appear to be many definitions of technology transfer, the basic concept is always the same -- finding ways to get technology out of the laboratory and into industrial or governmental applications. It is also clear that so far technology transfer has not been as successful as we would like to see it. NASA pioneered the technology transfer concept, yet NASA's major de facto effort has been dissemination of technical information and not transfer of technology as was proposed. The technology transfer process goes through four successive stages: (1) search, (2) adaptation, (3) implementation, and (4) maintenance. The search stage takes the generator and user from an unrecognized transfer opportunity to establishment of a viable contact. Adaptation can be termed the "go - no go" stage, the point at which a decision is made to proceed with the technology offered or move into another area. The implementation stage is the time to marshal the needed resources -- capital, organization, and human. At the end of this stage the technology is transferred, and all that is needed from then on is to maintain it, evaluating all effects and benefits. (ED 056 699 is a related document.) (Author/NH) |
