The Social Science Information Gateway: putting theory into practice
Abstract
The Social Science Information Gateway (SOSIG) was established in 1994 to provide access to networked resources for social science researchers, academics and librarians. This paper discusses issues of quality, access, resource identification and description, that SOSIG has faced in the four years since its establishment. It also reviews the involvement of SOSIG in the European Union's DESIRE project.
