5. Cumulating and Servicing Science Information
With the rapid growth of scientific research and the accompanying
increase and diversification of science information, the establishment of a system
for systematic and comprehensive collection of science information and speedy
and accurate dissemination has become an important issue.
In April 1986, therefore, the National Center for Science Information
System was established as an inter-university research institute open for all
the universities in the nation. The center is designed to be the key to the development
of a comprehensive nation-wide academic information network connecting all the
libraries and computer centers of national, local public and private universities
by dedicated lines. It is also instrumental in the promotion of the accommodation
of campus networks, the updating of university library functions and the establishment
of data bases. Also the collection, preservation and use of scientifically important
samples and genetic resources are being promoted.
