The National Shipbuilding Research Program. Proceedings of the REAPS Technical Symposium. Paper No. 2: An Information Service for the Maritime Industry
The paper reviews the services and publications available to the maritime industry through the Maritime Research Information Service (MRIS). This is a computer based service sponsored by the Maritime Administration and operated by the Transportation Research Board of the National Research Council. Information distribution to the maritime industry is provided. through monthly and semi-annual publications to subscribers, special bibliographies, computerized retrievals on request, and on-line retrieval directly through the Lockheed DIALOG System.
Transportation Research Information Services
During the past ten years the Transportation Research Board has been increasingly active in the development of computer-based information services. At present these services include the Highway Research Information Service (HRIS), the Maritime Research Information Service (MRIS), and the Railroad Research Information Service (RRIS). The Board has also assisted in the development of special services for transportation research in progress, highway safety, and transportation noise. In all these services the general objective is to provide the research community with improved access to information about ongoing and completed research activities in the transportation field. The papers and discussions relate to two recent developments that concern all of the modal information services: on-line retrieval access to centrally stored information and network access to information that is stored by any service in the network. The Board has experimented with on-line access since 1969, but not until 1973 was a demonstration project implemented on a national scale to study the effectiveness of on-line retrieval of transportation research information.
