A method of constructing a check digit for nonconventional chemical codes is described. (5 references) (Author)

To expand the present inadequate range of controls, reprinting and microfilming of existing indexes, catalogs, and inventories are proposed. The role of automation for control of research resources, including retrospective as well as current materials, is described. (109 references) (Author/NH)

A general account is given of the problems, the work of the DOE, the existing schemes; and proposals are put forward for the compilation of a metasystem'' which would be used to control or steer the conventions used for information handling. (27 references) (Author/NH)

Scientists and engineers have solved their wordage and most other information problems through the creation and use of information analysis centers (IAC). IAC's synthesize, analyze, and compress pertinent information so that knowledge transfer remains effective. (Author/NH)

The terse conclusion--a brief statement written by one versed in a field after reading a document--is suggested as one answer to the problems of too much to read and of reading many foreign languages. (26 references) (Author/NH)
