This means doing searches of commercial databases, and collecting information by other means. What we need to do is keep up on new literature and to review the new literature to determine its quality and how it may be useful. Valuable new information can be assimilated into the web site in addition to being added, categorized and reviewed in our documents database. It's good to get the document itself, but the next best thing is to have a record in our database that it exists in case we need to order it later. Jonathan Ricketson has created a documents database interface on the WWW using Lotus Notes.
Users can access the database on-line.
Lotus Notes allows multiple people to edit the same database in different locations, and automatically synchronizes the databases. A general search of key external databases was performed in 1997 by volunteer Steve McCann of Wichita State University. We always appreciate professionals keeping us current on new works, and can always use professional people to review or comment on new works.
