- W319556617 abstract "The integrated nature of the Internet and information dissemination tools such as the World Wide Web are ideally suited for use in our collective efforts to better manage the complex Great Lakes ecosystem. The Great Lakes Information Network is a computerized network that links data, information and individuals in the Great Lakes region using the Web and other resources availab le on the worldwide research network, the Internet. One of the nation's first regional efforts to implement the i n fo r m a ti o n s u p e r h i g h w a y , G L I N e n h a n c e s communication by providing quick and easy access to current data as well as to leading researchers and policymakers. Its data and information services span envi ronmen ta l qua l i ty , r esource management , transportation, demographic and economic data and more in the Great Lakes region of the United States and Canada. A New Era for the Great Lakes Over the past 40 years, the Great Lakes Commission, a compact agency of the eight Great Lakes states, and other regional agencies in the binational Great Lakes region have worked with hundreds of agencies, organizations and individuals to create a cooperative environment in which to develop regional answers to the Great Lakes ecosystem's unique environmental and economic challenges. The decades-long effort to build joint commitments to a sustainable economy and protect the Great Lakes Basin ecosystem has developed gradually through meetings, telephone conferences, newsletters and joint projects. This conventional low tech approach to what is increasingly a tech challenge is no longer efficient — in and of itself — or cost-effective. When we first visualized the GLIN network, we recognized that navigating these consultative and collaborative processes into the information age and linking geographically diverse agencies and organizations via a computerized information exchange network was a large, but technologically feasible challenge. In the nearly two years since GLIN came online, we have begun to meet that challenge by building a cooperative network supported by a number of public and private funders and by encouraging federal communications policies on both sides of the border and broad regional interest and commitment. In many cases, GLIN has grown far faster than expected; in others, GLIN development has lagged while necessary bureaucratic approval trails far behind technological capability. GLIN brings Internet experts into agencies and organizations to help educate managers and technical staff so that necessary approval moves ahead. GLIN seeks to bring agencies online in the region 's interest, capitalizing on the World Wide Web as an ideal tool for use in managing the various components of the complex and interrelated Great Lakes ecosystem. However, Internet connectivity is useful in many other aspects of agency/organization management. The future holds any number of app lications to help an agency's work run smoother, including industry/government connections expediting data transmittals and permit review, sale of permits and licenses, and better coordination with staff in district offices, to name a few. It is expected that GLIN's service in bringing the region online for ecosystem management will earn dividends for agencies in numerous ways in the next few years. To begin this process, GLIN seeks to demonstrate the advantage of electronic connectivity by providing seamless access to the interconnected environmental, economic, policy and health resources. By building upon the well-developed high speed Internet backbone in the region (CICNet), GLIN seeks to merge the wealth of new communications technology at our disposal with the long history of partnership. GLIN is not a site. It is an umbrella information service that helps agencies and organizations develop a) Internet access; b) One-stop shopping for high quality Great Lakes regional data and information; and c) Tools to aid collaboration among experts across the binational Great Lakes region. The specific strategic actions associated with each of these objectives is explained below. 1) Develop Internet Access. Bring partner agencies and organizations online with full ability to use Internet services. To this end, GLIN staff and advisory board members travel to state, federal and non-governmental agencies across the region. After a needs assessment, GLIN provides a host of services including demonstrations for senior management; line staff training; analysis of connectivity requirements and costs; 'firewall' seminars; space on the GLIN host server to pilot Internet dissemination of agency data and information; dial-up services; troubleshooting; and, on occasion, help configuring hardware and software and domain name service . 2) Provide one-stop shopping access to a broad range of regional resources, including information, data, news and analysis focused on the region's" @default.
