Traditional methods of organizing and storing information

American Documentation, 1968, vol. 19, issue 3, 271-272

Abstract: The library science of precomputer days developed or accepted the fundamental concepts and processes that are the heart of the library science of the future. The methods used were so time consuming and the technical orientation so limited, however, that inefficiencies of method and of scale rendered the system almost self‐destroying. The ramifications of this situation are described in regard to the processes of acquisition, classification, descriptive and subject cataloging, and circulation.
