Journal of the American Society for Information Science, 1988, vol. 39, issue 5, 301-306

Abstract: The wartime emergency accelerated developments in information science, particularly in the area of microfilm. Men and women active in the American Documentation Institute and other national documentation organizations focused during the war years on the acquisition and dissemination of strategic scientific and technological information and laid the basis for the nation's postwar scientific information infrastructure. © 1988 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
