Abstract: Current interdisciplinary information in science and technology was studied in connection with some aspects of the integration of the sciences. The investigation was carried out by combination of research methods such as testing, surveys, and source analysis. The experimental method for tracing relevant publications unknown to the user is described. The results of questionnaires sent to 432 specialists in 16 countries are presented. Some features of the integration of the sciences were investigated together with the specific information demands which they provoke. It is shown that these demands cannot be satisfied within the limits of discipline‐oriented information systems. Particular attention is given to information problems of small developed and developing countries. The efforts of these countries must concentrate on the compilation of information indexes on complex and interdisciplinary problems.
