Discusses the connection between the fields of terminology and information science and demonstrates the importance of linguistics, in particular the theory of terminology, in the automation of such information processes as classification, indexing, and abstracting. Fourteen references are cited. (Author/EJS)

Information science is presently a mechanistic discipline which needs to be humanized. There must be more communication between librarians and information scientists, perhaps through seminars and exchanges, to bring the advantages of computerization to bear on human needs. (LS)

Frequencies of the number of references per paper were obtained for information science literature represented by papers cited in Information Science Abstracts, volumes 1-6 (1966-1971). The ratio of papers without references to those with references was proposed as a measure of the scholarly status of a field. (13 references) (Author/SJ)

The development of Romanian libraries in recent years with particular reference to the influence of the impact of information work is described. (Author/SJ)

A single listing of 1970 and 1971 master's theses and doctoral dissertations, arranged under the various library schools to which they were submitted is presented. Several tables showing the distribution of theses and dissertations among the schools over the period 1966-1971 are also included. (311 references) (Author/KE)

A combination of quantitative and qualitative techniques were used to analize the journal articles indexed in one volume of Library Literature.'' This approach, merging bibliometrics and classification, yielded results in such areas as dispersion of articles among journals, frequency of article type and types of subjects covered.

Interaction and interactive systems involve the computer and complexities when an abstracting and indexing service relates to its users. Kinds of interactions are: between government and industrial services; between discipline - and project - oriented services; on a national versus international level; and between the user and the computer.

This brief history of a living worker in the vineyards of documentation is acknowledge to be only a description of relevant aspects of a very active life and in no sense an assessment of his work. (Author)

Invisible Colleges are the hierarchical elite resulting from an expectable inequality, and numbering about the square root of the total population of people in the area of research front. (Author/MF)

In the explorations of the scientific aspects of the information problem, information scientists must not forget the human equation which is the most important one of all. (Author/MF)

Impediments to Russian transfer of information include lack of invisible colleges; absence of preprints; difficult telephone communication; delays in the procurement of foreign literature; failure of Soviet libraries to mechanize library processes; and the absence of narrowly specialized information centers intensively exploiting computers for…

To establish information services is not enough; they must be used and used efficiently. Efficient use is most likely to be realized through programs of user education. (Author/NH)
