=Information Dissemination and Utilization (N=1)=


 * Definition 1:** Information dissemination and utilization. Information dissemination activities have their roots in library science and include information clearinghouses, special publications, toll-free telephone hotlines, and so on - all methods for getting information out to larger audiences. Utilization activities refer to assistance provided in the actual adoption effort, after information is available. Scholars differ on how much of a distinction should be drawn between information and knowledge, which usually is inferred to be more refined and to have some pretested "value".
