Experimental Development of a Small Computer-Augmented Information System

Abstract : Research is reported in three categories of investigation: development of augmented management and operational techniques for running a research intelligence system, further building of the data base, and improvement of the computer aids supporting the processes. A 'People Services Operation' was established with procedures to aid throughout of incoming information and entry into the data base. Procedures for citation formation and citation file- building were refined, and the data base was expanded using these. Progress was made in development of a coordinated automatic process for entry and storage of catalog data and for catalog and index production.
