Abstract

The article describes the objectives of the Semi-Arid Tropical Crops Information Service (SATCRIS), a Specialized Information Analysis Center (SIAC) at the International Crops Research Institute for the Semi-Arid Tropics (ICRISAT). Database design methodology at SATCRIS is described. Services are discussed. The evolution of the SDI service of SATCRIS from a manual service to the present automated service is described in detail, and a brief analysis is presented of the nature of the SDI clientele and the contribution of two global databases, viz. AGRIS and CABI, to the SATCRIS SDI service. Global attention is drawn to SIACs such as SATCRIS to enable better funding and coordination so that the objectives envisaged in AGRIS Level II are achieved.
