Registration of Danish energy literature and descriptions of energy research projects and cooperation with international information systems

The Danish Energy Agency has signed a number of agreements about the exchange of information between countries and international organizations, and the obligations described in these agreements are carried out in this project. A systematic collection and registration of both published and unpublished information (project descriptions) on Danish research and development within the field of energy is accomplished. The information is included in several information systems, i.e. ETDE World Energy Base (IEA), Nordic Energy Index, INIS (International Nuclear Information System, IAEA), Coal Data Base (IEA), Danish National Research Database. The published results of the Energy Research Programme (ERP) are announced in a special publication issued twice a year by the Danish Energy Agency. A manuscript is prepared of descriptions of ERP-projects for the publication 'Energiforskningsprogram 2000' (Energy Research Programme 2000). These two publications will also be available on the World Wide Web. As the collected data can be re-used for different purposes the project ensures that information of Danish energy research and development can be included in relevant information systems in the most economic and rational way. Information Service Department (including Risø Library) gives advice to anyone who wishes to use the information systems (databases) and offers to carry out searches for those who do not have direct access to them. All Danish energy publications can be borrowed from the Library which also helps users to retrieve publications from other countries
