Abstract
The Computerized Soil Survey Reports are an initiative of the Saskatchewan Soil Survey to expand the use of soils information, by existing and potential users, through the use of computers and computer disks. Extending information in a computerized format presents a user with the option of obtaining the soils information required in a format other than the conventional printed report or map. The Soil Survey has been using micro computers for digitization, data management and laboratory analysis, resulting in most data being stored on electronic media allowing the use of computers to extend the collected information to users. A larger number of requests for information in an electronic format are now being received. In order to meet these needs, it was decided compliment the present written reports and paper maps with a computerized format of soil report which would enhance the access and use of presently collected data.
