About EDISContents of this document:BACKGROUNDThe EDIS Web Site grew out of the award-winning FAIRS Web Site, which began life as a Web translation of the FAIRS series of CD-ROMs. Created from the database of IFAS Extension and Research publications, EDIS is the one source of the official, approved versions of IFAS publications. The EDIS Web Site also links to departmental sites and other related information and software at the University of Florida.
In 1998 and 1999, IT processed 1939 documents into the EDIS database and 3171 documents into the Review Site. There are currently 5284 entries in the EDIS database. Of these, 3440 have Digital Library Numbers, indicating that they exist (or did exist) in electronic form. There are currently 3134 documents listed on the EDIS web site.
Documents come to us from several sources. The departments of Agronomy and Family, Youth and Consumer Sciences are responsible for their own documents while IFAS Communication Services submits documents from the other academic departments within IFAS. The SWAT team is responsible for converting legacy publications into electronic format.
In March, 1999, the department of Soil and Water Sciences also began handling their own documents. Their impact in the percentage of documents that come to us directly from the departments can be seen by looking at the charts at the right (click on the image for a larger view).
In December, 1999, alone, the EDIS website served 39,176 individual users, transferring over 5.879 Gigabytes worth of data (go here for more interesting numbers). Just over 2% of this data was sent to users from the ufl.edu domain (the University of Florida), the rest was distributed among commercial domains, other universities, U.S. government and military domains and 112 foreign countries (see the exhaustive list here). What was everyone coming to see? Check out the Ten Most Popular Documents for December.
