| description | Following the increased interest in the Malay World studies world wide, and a
change in ATMA’s directorship in April 1999, we had, for the first time in UKM
history, the chance to design our databases. After creating the first database,
PADAT, we have successfully created new supplementary or complimentary
databases. They are constructed not only to satisfy demands, but also to whet
new appetite. Our achievements thus far are the result of an efficient working
team, a visionary leadership and overwhelming support from UKM’s top
management. We hope to develop our databases to meet world standards, and
in doing so, to make ATMA to become another defining point in the study of the Malay world. In order to create a circle of sustainability, we must in turn
convince paying users that their expenditure will benefit them. As researchers
get used to faster computers and become more impatient, the pressures on
databases increases. The right information must be quickly accessible and at
any given time |
