INIS - Information Bridge to Future Generations Russian National INIS Centre V. Kupriyanov (National Research Nuclear University MIPhI) A. Tolstenkov (All-Russian Scientific & Research Institute of Nuclear Plants Operation) The 37th Consultative Meeting of the INIS Liaison Officers October 2014, IAEA, Vienna

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) 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!!!!!

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” Google Scholar/INIS

INIS for Russian Students Magister Diploma (MIPhI): “The development of the taxonomy for nuclear power plant instrumentation and control (I&C) systems based on the INIS Thesaurus” Baccalaureate Diploma (MFTI): “The INIS Database as a trusted & comprehensive source of historical information on nuclear energy development” 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

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? INIS Member States INIS Secretariat InformationTechnology

INIS Community INIS Member States (128) Nuclear Authorities37% Research & Development organizations30% Information Centres & Libraries22% Universities11% International Organizations (24) INIS Secretariat Total number of people who worked in INIS Centres and INIS Secretariat ~ thousands! INIS is bringing to young generations Nuclear Information Culture

INIS Community Zhanna Pysanko ILO Ukraine – 20xx 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 world and it would be good to organize special event in 2015 to celebrate 45 th anniversary of INIS

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

“INIS is distinguished by its valuable approach to help and assist scientists, researchers and students in obtaining relevant information on research and development in their area of activities. Therefore INIS plays very important role in transferring know-how in nuclear science and technology to IAEA Member States and to young generation.” Statement made at the IAEA General Conference, 2005

Thank you!
