Information Management
The primary function of a Marine Information Centre is to provide a bibliographical search and delivery service for marine information to users in the marine field. The Centre works in collaboration with the coastal African states participating in the information network set up under the ODINAFRICA Project.
The main objectives of the Centre are to:
- Provide marine scientists in the region with the necessary scientific information;
- Enhance the use of indigenous scientific information in the region;
- Promote and facilitate communication between the scientists, both intra- and inter-regionally;
- Disseminate information on marine scientific research activities in the country.
To achieve these goals the project set out to develop a number of services and products such as:
- Provision of bibliographic search and document delivery services to scientific community in the institute;
- Development of the national directory of marine scientists within the country;
- Development of institutes library holdings database;
