A training course for ILTER information specialists from Taiwan, China and Malaysia was held at the U.S. LTER Network Office March 14-24, 1995 at the University of Washington, Seattle. The two- week course, organized and taught by Rudolf Norrrotr, U.S. LTER Data Manager, introduced the six participants to the fundamentals of developing World Wide Web home pages and regional information servers on the global Internet.
Upon returning to their home countries and institutions, participants continued work on the content of their information servers and added site maps and descriptions, and personnel and other information, for a demonstration at a networking workshop on April 13, 1995 as part of the Southeast Asia Regional ILTER meeting in Taipei, Taiwan. The ILTER information server at the Network Office will host regional servers until the necessary infrastructure has been developed at the regional level.
