Mikhailov, A. I., Ed. – 1973
The approach taken in preparing this collection of papers was to focus upon questions of an applied nature pertaining to the studies of information needs and connected with the theory of scientific information, rather than to approach the problems of user needs in information science from a purely theoretical point of view. The nine papers…

Beaulnes, Aurele – 1973
The problem of dissemination and utilization of scientific and technical information (STI) is of particular importance to Canada since it is not a major generator of STI. On the overall basis, it is in fact, one of the largest importers of scientific and technological knowledge. In this presentation, Dr. Beaulnes discusses: Approaches to STI…

Skelton, Barbara – 1971
The Investigation into Information Requirements of the Social Sciences (INFROSS) was initiated in 1968 because it was feared that in the absence of knowledge about information requirements of the social sciences, solutions adopted in science, based on the findings of science user studies, would be applied to the social sciences. It is now…

Korfhage, R. R.; DeLutis, T. G. – 1969
A general model for information storage and retrieval (IS&R) systems is proposed. The system is selected from the set of all available IS&R components. These components define the system's users and data sources; the hardware, software, and personnel performing the actual storage and retrieval activities; and the funder who acts as a filter in the…
