Abstract: Factors which must be considered in comparing information systems ore: (1) Are the bases textual or data and what is the completeness and reliability required? (2) Is access provided by author, corporate author, title, and/or subject matter? (3) Is the indexing genersl or specific; the vocabulary controlled or not; by whom is indexing done and how thorough is it? (4) Is storage total or extracts, full size, microform, or magnetic? (5) Can input costs be reduced by combining with other necessary operations? (6) Who is to retrieve, what does he retrieve, and how rapid must the response be?
