INIS was always the first in technology:

INIS & AGRIS – the first databases on CD-ROM at the IAEA (1991)

INIS – the first DB with online access (1978) DAP

INIS Web Site – the first Web Site at the IAEA (1996)

INIS – the first nuclear database at the IAEA (1970)

INIS – a pioneer in knowledge preservation (NCL activities since 1970;digitization of IAEA documents since 2003)

INIS - the first DB available on the Internet at the IAEA (1998)

The IAEA Nuclear Knowledge Management activities started at the INIS Section (2002). IAEA NKM Programme started in 2004

INIS Collection Search (ICS)

In 2013 INIS became accessible via Google Scholar

Congratulation!!!!!

2012

2013

INIS Personal Reference DB

INIS DB became searchable directly from “Personal Bibliographic Reference Management” applications

• Bookends• Docear• EndNote• Mendeley• Zotero• …

These are very efficient tools for students and young scientists & researchers!!

“Bookends”

Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology

National Research Nuclear University MIPhI

Nuclear Knowledge & Information Management Course (since 2013)Special lecture - INIS

It is planned that 16 more Russian Universities will start the NKIM course in 2015 - 2016

Issues

Most frequent student questions during lectures about INIS:

• Why “Legislative Material” and “Standard” are INIS Record Types as “Book” or “Journal article”?

• What is the difference between “Audiovisual” and “Multimedia”?

• Why INIS does not collect information about Web Encyclopedia and nuclear distance learning courses?

• Why INIS does not collect information about Web nuclear information resources?

• Why INIS is collecting PowerPoint presentations as NCL full-text? In most cases they are not informative.

Issues

May be it is time for us to revise “INIS Information” paradigm?

Total number of people who worked in INIS Centres and INIS Secretariat ~ thousands!

Conclusions

Availability of INIS via Google Scholar is real breakthrough and at least Russian users can say about INIS renaissance

INIS plays important role for Russian «nuclear» students and young researchers & scientists

There are some issues to be discussed and we are requesting for organizing the INIS Technical Meeting

INIS Community has capacity to be more proactive

INIS

INIS made tremendous contribution into the nuclear information worldand it would be good to organize special event in 2015 to celebrate 45th anniversary of INIS

“INIS” in the WorldINIS means both ‘island' and ‘tell' in Irish
