For the first time in 1993, the third year of activity, Regional Information Center for Science and Technology like other Lan's governmental organizations was approved to get an independent budget which was about 1800 million Rials.
Such a core collection of printed and electronic journals was set up aiming at creating a national place for getting access to these valuable sources and then becoming independent from foreign information centers such as British Library.
This trend provides users with the opportunity for searching the bibliographic information, content list and abstracts, asking for original articles and receiving documents based on RICeST's document delivery services.
Question 18: What is RICeST's policy on dividing budget to purchase each kind of information resources such as journals, books, etc.
Considering the fact that the Ministry of Science, Research and Technology provides RICeST annually with about one million dollars to purchase scientific journals, this information center dedicates about one million and 600 thousand dollars to purchase non-Farsi journals each year.
In this regard, at first, the catalogues sent by creditable publishers will be handed to the members of scientific council and the Library and Information Science experts of RICeST.
Therefore, RICeST contacts with different educational groups of universities and research centers such as administrative organizations and the Ministry of Health, Treatment and Medical Education and provides them with IDs and Passwords for access to this database.
So, I tried to design and provide Farsi databases completely different from the previous works which had been produced in Iran.
