AGRIS, the international information system for the agricultural sciences and technology, was established by FAO over 30 years ago as an international initiative to build a common information system for science and technology in agriculture and related subjects based on a collaborative network of institutions. To date, 240 national, international and intergovernmental centres participate. Thailand was quick to become an active partner in the AGRIS network, with the Thai National AGRIS Centre cel ebrating its 25th anniversary in 2005. Capitalizing on new advancements made in communication technologies in the 1990s, a "new vision for AGRIS" was developed which allowed for decentralization, strengthened capacity building, emphasis on full text documents and use of web-enabled tools with a focus on the establishment of standards for effective exchange and retrieval of information. One of the first institutions to take up the new vision was the Thai National AGRIS Centre. This report describes the work and experiences of the Thai national AGRIS Centre in adopting the new AGRIS strategy, with the intention that it may serve as a useful reference for other organizations seeking to do the same.
