This should also be true in agricultural research organisations, where information and knowledge are the major byproducts of agricultural research. This point is supported by the results of a content survey of 28 Web sites of international agricultural organisations, eight Web sites of regional-based agricultural research organisations in Africa and 21 Web sites of organisations involved in agricultural research in the Southern Africa Development Community (SADC). Overall, international agricultural organisations are way above agricultural research organisations in Africa and the SADC region in the use of Web sites in providing access to information and knowledge resources in digital formats. Agricultural organisations in Africa and the SADC region are generally behind in implementing innovative use of the Web. They need to be guided in the development and provision of digital information services using the Internet and Web technologies. © 2004 by K. G.
