Abstract

In this paper an attempt is made to calculate the cost of equipment and staff for an industrial technical library, with a view to providing in accessible, tabulated form data which might be useful in planning new libraries, or organizing those already established. The detailed tables are set out at the end of the text, and are clearly cross‐referenced.

Abstract

Though the title on our cover implies no startling novelty, this first issue of Aslib Proceedings: incorporating Aslib Information is, nevertheless, a step of some significance in the publication of Aslib's periodicals. From now on, the quarterly Aslib Proceedings and the members' monthly news‐sheet Aslib Information will cease to be published separately. Instead, the papers, news notes, lists of recent articles and Aslib library accessions which have hitherto appeared in them, together with certain other types of material for which Aslib has had no suitable publication medium, will be brought together in this new monthly periodical. This, as befits a record of papers read at Aslib meetings and a chronicle of the plans and activities of all of Aslib's component parts, is visualized as a service common to members of all categories and one of the principal links between them.

Abstract

Many of us feel that as a result of the Cranfield experiments we ought perhaps to know something that we didn't know before and that this knowledge ought to have some positive effects on our work—the difficulty is to be sure exactly what these effects should be and what we ought to be doing about it, other than acquiring guilt feelings. During the period of the Cranfield experiments I myself have also been engaged, on a less impressive scale, with similar problems in different fields of knowledge.

Abstract

ASLIB made a break with tradition when the Thirty‐first Annual Conference was planned to take place at Brighton from 1st to 4th June, 1956, instead of in the autumn. Alas, that the weather did not play its part. A stiff, chill breeze discouraged any lingering on the sea front and by Sunday night this had degenerated into a howling gale of wind and rain. However, there are two sides to every coin. Possibly the lack of counter‐attractions contributed to larger attendances at the meetings and to the many impromptu gatherings in the foyer of the Hotel Metropole where the conference was held. Most people appeared to enjoy themselves.

Abstract

In visiting more than a hundred special libraries and information units in Britain (not to use their resources but to study their methods) I have often been concerned by the inadequacy of the private indexing systems in use, although there were many exceptions. The classifications were often crude, and/or outdated, and/or quite insufficiently detailed, and were seldom provided with good subject indexes. Alphabetical subject‐heading indexes are more difficult to assess on a brief visit, but these were seldom detailed enough, so that fifty or more documents could be indexed under one heading. Seldom was there a separate subject‐headings list, and often no recognition of the need of one. Guidance for the user was very often poor.
