Introduction
Description: Platte-Search is a search-and-retrieval database program with bibliographic information on approximately 1,500 publications, reports, projects and academic studies related to the Platte River Basin. The basin includes the North Platte, South Platte, Central Platte, and Lower Platte Basins encompassing the states of Colorado, Nebraska and Wyoming. Platte-Search for PCs was originally developed at the University of Nebraska. It was later converted to a Web application by staff at Northern Prairie Wildlife Research Center. The Web version of Platte-Search (Platte-Search-Web) contains the same functionality and operates much like the PC version. The output from Platte-Search-Web can be viewed and printed in a table or list format. Keyword searches provide extremely fast retrieval, but other fields (e.g., Title, Subject, Author) can also be searched. The complex-search option of Platte-Search-Web contains a wide range of configuration options.
Purpose:
- To provide a single source, easy-to-use, fast information retrieval/referral system for researchers, administrators, and managers of the basin.
- To assist project managers in assessing and locating the sources of ecological, agricultural, and historic data on the Platte River.
- To provide a basis for determining future research needs in the Platte River Basin.
