Database Analysis Using Cd-Rom - A Study of Ghanaian Forestry Bibliography using the Treecd
Abstract
An analysis of a bibliographic database (TreeCD) has been made. Bibliography relating to Ghana was assessed and the trend and rate of publishing by Ghanaians was looked at. It has been recommended that local databases should be established by including all grey material available. Also bibliographic materials available on CD-ROMs may be used as a guide for setting up databases subject to copyright regulations. This would help to make local information easily available to local scientists and also avoid the over dependence on foreign databases, which are very expensive to acquire.
