About the Information Infrastructure Development Programme (IIDP) - from the point of users.

BARANYAI György

In Hungary the up-to-date information supply to R&D will be realized by the IIDP supervised by the Hungarian Academy of Sciences and the Hungarian Committee on Technological Development. This programme aims at concentrating research, academic and information centres, their bibliographic databases and users into a unified public packet network apt for international communication. A wide circle of institutions in the country will be able to join the network only if public libraries have a phone connection to the system. In addition to online services offline information supply should be provided from the very start from legal databases and databases of standards and newspaper clippings. There is a need for considerable financial assistance by the state to provide the entire hardware and software corresponding to the unified concept, as well as - for some years - to cover the costs of training and operation. County libraries must be prepared for the task of being the basis institutions of the programme's realization and management. (pp. 238-241)
