NSF PA/M 98-16 - June 29, 1998
Science and Engineering Indicators 1998 Now Has Easy Access on the
Web
Researchers, academics, business leaders, educators and the media will
enjoy much improved access to science & engineering indicators because
of new technology used in the web version of the National Science
Board's Science and Engineering Indicators 1998. The report will
be available on three web formats:
- "Enhanced" HTML - This version offers easy navigation
to any section of S&E; Indicators, using toolbars on the
left side and across the top of the monitor screen. Charts and tables
open
in separate windows to allow for side-by-side comparison of text and
data;
- "Accessible" HTML - This format makes the report more
easily accessible to persons with handicaps and for persons using older
access
technologies or slower Internet connections;
- Portable Document (pdf) - This version retains the design and
layout of the printed publication, allowing an individual to print a
personal copy of the report regardless of which printer or platform
used.
The site also offers a detailed help section-describing features that
will assist with navigating and viewing the 800-page document.
The web versions of Science and Engineering Indicators 1998 will
be available after 3 p.m. Tuesday, June 30. The URL is: http://www.nsf.gov/sbe/srs/seind98/start.htm
