INIS Liaison Officers Survey objectives

• gaining a better understanding of the situation in the INIS Members

• Identifying any issues that may be preventing ILOs from fulfilling their INIS mandate

• Determining whether their is need for additional support from the INIS Secretariat


INIS Liaison Officers SurveyINIS Liaison Officers Survey

• was conducted in June-September 2007

• special questionnaire was sent to 117 INIS Centres

• 31 personal/telephone interviews

Analysis is based on 75 completed questionnaires we received (~ 65%)



• Majority of ILOs are not working 100% for INIS

• ~45% of INIS Centres do not have sufficient financial and/or human resources to fulfil INIS Members and therefore are not able capture relevant information for the INIS DB

• Highest priority of INIS Members is the preparation of input to the INIS Bibliographic and NCL databases

• Information services, marketing and promotion have lower priority



• 60% of INIS Centres require assistance from the INIS Secretariat in form of new efficient input preparation tools and stressed the importance of resuming INIS Training Seminars

• 75% of ILOs stated that marketing & promotion activities could reinforce the image of INIS and consider joint marketing plan as a mechanism to facilitate these activities

• Many ILOs are in favour of opening free access to the INIS DB, emphasising that it could increase INIS DB usage and make marketing easer


INIS ProductionINIS Production


• In the year 2007, a total of 117,447 records were added to the INIS Bibliographic Database
