The information system: Too big and growing

Louise Schultz

American Documentation, 1962, vol. 13, issue 3, 288-294

Abstract: Available equipment and procedures exhibit little prospect of coping successfully with the dynamic problems of information generation, transmission, and use created by the current scientific and technological “explosion.” Present attempts at devising new equipment and procedures are bogged in the basic problem—information is not satisfactorily disseminated to those who need it. The discrepancy is the more obvious because the techniques and devices being discovered and developed—those of automatic information processing—are based on principles derived from and applied in a broad range of scientific disciplines. Merging the efforts of many disciplines and universally using the results depend upon effective intercommunication. ADI is urged to accept the broadest possible responsibility for cross‐disciplinary intercommunication in all aspects of the Information System.
