Joining the information highway
It's the information age and
Agriculture and Agri -Food Canada
is moving on-line with a new ser-
vice called ACEIS.
"This is our contribution to the
information highway," says Victor
Desroches, director of the, Canadian
Agriculture Library and ACEIS
project manager.
ACEIS - the Agriculture and
Agri -Food Canada Electronic Infor-
mation Service - will be up and
running for a six-month test starting
April 1.
Whether you live in Conception
Bay, Nfld., Ituna, Sask. or Victoria,
B.C., the user-friendly, bilingual
system will be accessible by phone,
fax, Internet and Electronic Bulletin
Board, 24 hours a day, seven days
a week.
ACEIS will have something for
everyone, including information on

programs, policies, regulations,
emerging technology and market
information. As more people
become familiar with the system
and request information, more items
will be added.
ACEIS will provide links with
other systems such as FBMInet and
the Federal Open Government Pilot.
FBMInet is a bulletin board system
At the Ag Museum
established in 1993 by the Canadian
Farm Business Management Coun-
cil and the Open Government Pilot
is an on-line information system run
by Industry Canada.
If ACEIS passes its six-month
test, it will be expanded. Desroches
anticipates not only increased cus-
tomer satisfaction due to instant
access to up-to-date data but also
substantial savings over time as
printed material becomes less
necessary. The department will save
on printing, mailing and storage
costs.
Desroches is hoping ACEIS will
eventually serve as a base in the
development of a national agricul-
tural information system which
would include information from all
levels of government and give the
phrase "one-stop shopping" a whole
new meaning.
