Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Agriculture and Veterinary Sciences - Year 2014, Vol 1, Issue 1
Abstract
Abstract: Information Systems and Networks is a kind of consortium which is dedicated to information activities ranging from information collection, selection, organization and dissemination. Information Systems and Networks are considered as important pillar for Information Transfer Cycle chain and may be established on a specific subject or discipline; or may be categorized other way. However, during some years Information Systems and Networks are also established for mission oriented purposes. The objective of this paper is to mention about information systems, its role, values and characteristics, and also describe about AGRIS; its nature, role and values in contemporary agricultural and environmental world. Keywords: Information Systems & Networks (ISN), AGRIS, Environmental Information Systems, Information Repositories, Digital Repositories, Knowledge Network, Information Science
