| contents | Support for a National Research Information Service in Tanzania. Stockholm Papers in Library and Information Science. Schwarz, Stephan Winkel, Annette Academic Libraries Developing Nations Higher Education Information Dissemination Information Services Information Systems National Programs Planning Public Libraries Research and Development Research Libraries Scientific and Technical Information This report briefly reviews the current situation in Tanzania with respect to scientific and technical (S&T) information provision at the research and development (R&D) level, and formulates proposals to revive a workable situation for the R&D community. A presentation of the objectives of a mission to Dar es Salaam is followed by a discussion of TANRIS (Tanzania National Research Information Service) and its 1977 mandate in scientific and technical provision. A section on "Sources of Information Provision: The User Community" focuses on the University Library of Dar es Salaam, its faculties of engineering and science, information needs at the undergraduate level, and the public library sector. Finally, a series of proposals for strengthening scientific and technical information provision in Tanzania are outlined, including: a textbook provision program should be set up; continuity of approximately 500 journals in S&T in the University Library of Dar es Salaam should be secured; continuity of the most important abstract and index journals should be secured; and a current awareness service should be established as a bilateral project with Scandinavian libraries of technology, and the service should be offered to all on-going R&D projects in S&T. Nine references are included. (THC) |
