The algerian agricultural information and documentation system : how does it support national research and training ?

Some ten years ago, since student enrolment was climbing rapidly, Algeria created over twenty training and research facilities devoted to agricultural sciences in the broad sense of the term. Conditions for accessing information in these establishments, which operate in a context marked by serious financial restrictions, are analysed from both a national and an international vantage point. Shortcomings in the current system make it vital for the information policy to develop new orientations primarily supported by the creation of a national network where information flows can be maintained thanks to the new technologies for information and communication (NTIC).
