Abstract

The Technology Transfer Project has had the responsibility of providing a public face for the Cotton Catchment Communities CRC. It promoted the cotton, NRM and community research industry and the wider public. This was successfully achieved mainly through the development and maintenance of the Cotton Catchment Communities web site. The project also assisted with the production of materials for hardcopy and distribution of same using contact lists maintained by this project.The site is the main repository of research and extension material produced by Cotton CRC and CRDC projects. The project aimed to keep the web site up to date and available to industry (via various means such as what's new pages, RSS feeds, up to date site mapping and promotion via electronic newsletters and paper publications and recently Twitter feeds). This was in order to promote visitation and consequent exposure to the latest research and extension material.Where possible the opportunity was made to enhance paper base publications or present them in a web friendly fashion with enhanced utility over paper based documentation. The Weed ID guide (on the web the Weed ID tool) from WEEDpak Section A3 Charles. G et al) is a good example.The project coordinated with the national cotton extension team and Cotton Development and Delivery teams to assist industry wide extension campaigns to assist local extension officers.The project also provided web services to researchers for conducting surveys and also provided services to the Cotton CRC for the running of conference -registration, web sites contacts, resource creation (booklets and MP3 CD's).
