Page v - COSATI panel's definition of an information analysis center: "An information analysis center is a formally structured organizational unit specifically (but not necessarily exclusively) established for the purpose of acquiring, selecting, storing, retrieving, evaluating, analyzing, and synthesizing a body of information and/or data in a clearly defined specialized field or pertaining to a...
Page vii - Department membership on the Committee on Scientific and Technical Information of the Federal Council for Science and Technology, the Public Health Service since June 1962, has made its contribution to the Council's effort to "promote coordination and improve planning and management of Federal programs in science and technology.
Page 17 - ... two most recent results at the time of the review (1965) differed by almost 25 percent. PT Smith's data, by the way, lie between them. Agreement for other rare gases is generally worse. The authors of this review first set out to analyze the basic experimental methods used. For each type of apparatus they developed a set of specific criteria that had to be satisfied before one could state that a meaningful measurement had been made. When they compared the papers with the criteria, they found...
Page 2 - Transfer of information is an inseparable part of research and development. All those concerned with research and development — individual scientists and engineers, industrial and academic research establishments, technical societies, government agencies — must accept responsibility for the transfer of information in the same degree and spirit that they accept responsibility for research and development itself.
Page 11 - A modern computer can make a complete literature search in a remarkably short time and overwhelm the research worker with a bibliography that requires a lifetime to read and...
Page v - ... established for the purpose of acquiring, selecting, storing, retrieving, evaluating, analyzing and synthesizing a body of information in a clearly defined specialized field or pertaining to a specified mission with the intent of compiling, digesting, repackaging, or otherwise organizing and presenting pertinent information in a form most authoritative, timely, and useful to a society of peers and management.
Page 1 - ... Information, summarized the developments and challenges in these fields, concerning himself with the relationships between the crisis in science, the information centers and the librarian, the location of the information centers, the government's role, and the future of such centers. Dr. Weinberg stated "that science, in response to the information crisis, is undergoing a hierarchal social reorganization, and that this social reorganization will impose a corresponding hierarchal organization...
Page 16 - To retrieve information, as contrasted to documents, the technical community has devised the specialized data and information center. A specialized information center makes it its business to know everything that is being published in a special field — such as nuclear spectroscopy or the thermophysical properties of chemical compounds; it collates and reviews the data, and provides its subscribers with regularly issued compilations, critical reviews, specialized bibliographies, and other such tools....
Page 18 - ... million. Many of the papers will surely have value, even if they contain no reference data that can be critically evaluated; their primary purpose may have been altogether different, so the cost of the data quoted is relatively small. But, to the extent that the work has...
