‘SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH IN BRITISH UNIVERSITIES’ AND THE USE OF PUNCHED CARDS FOR COMPILING ITS ANNUAL SUBJECT INDEX

Abstract

In 1946 the Royal Society published a booklet entitled Notes on current scientific researches in the United Kingdom. This, though incomplete, was warmly approved at the Society's Empire Scientific Conference, held in June that year, and this approval showed how much an authoritative and comprehensive compilation giving information about the scientific research being carried on in the country would be welcomed. It was appreciated that such a compilation would have to be periodically revised.
