User's Guide for Cultural Resources Information Bulletin Board (CRIBB).
Abstract
The CRIBB is a knowledge-based tool for enhancing communication among personnel at U.S. Army Corps of Engineers District and Division offices, military installations, and educational institutions who are concerned with preserving archeological and historical resources. Through it, they can share strategies and results, ask for and give advice, recommend good sources of up-to-date technical information, and participate in other similar exchanges. CRIBB provides date technical information, and participate in other similar exchanges. CRIBB provides an easy, informal communication medium linking cultural resource personnel at widespread geographic locations and at diverse levels within the Army chain of command and can help them pool their knowledge and experience. The system also contains listings of experts, cultural resource personnel at each installation, and recommended training courses; call-in information services; and a catalog of installation-specific, unpublished documents that users can order for use as guides in writing their own assessments, contracts, permits, and programs. CRIBB is available as a prototype system in the Environmental Technical Information System (ETIS), which can be accessed by almost any computer equipped with a telephone and a modem. Keywords: Electronic bulletin boards; History.
