In this competitive economy, access to pertinent information is critical for success in international trade. Although information about international trade abounds, it is difficult for many agribusiness firms to access specific information. The International Trade Information System (ITIS) provides agricultural exporters basic information about countries, trade, and commodities in Pacific Rim countries. ITIS uses an expert system and hypertext to provide quickness and power in information dissemination. It allows the user to control the information to be displayed and chooses the level of detail to view. Hypertext is used to explain terms, expand on questions, and provide more detailed information.© 1992 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
