The Scientist's View of his Information System

For three years from April 1978, the Committee on Scientific Information of The Royal Society conducted a study of the scientific information system of the United Kingdom, funded by the British Library Research and Development Department. One of the major objectives of this study was to formulate policy recommendations on information matters, on behalf of the scientific community, which might subsequently be adopted by The Royal Society as policy statements. Two earlier papers reporting parts of the study have been published.
