SUBJECT AND MISSION‐ORIENTATED SCHEMES: The INTERNATIONAL PATTERN AS INDICATED BY CAS, INSPEC, INIS AND OTHERS

Abstract

Our theme today is International Developments in Scientific Information Services but I intend to limit my remarks to computer‐based secondary information systems. It is certainly not necessary for me to dwell on the great growth rate of scientific information except to remind us that it is this growth rate which demands new attitudes and the use of all available technology to permit adequate storage, retrieval and use of the ever growing store and daily output of scientific and technical information.
