Hansen, Inge Berg – Journal of Chemical Documentation, 1972
Analysis of the distribution of relevant answers to 41 search profiles among the 80 subject sections of Chemical Abstracts" revealed that the average profile requires 10 CA-subject sections for adequate coverage. The average printing expense could be reduced 25 percent by searching the individual profiles in the appropriate subject sections. (5…

Wayne State Univ., Detroit, MI. Univ. Libraries. – 1972
As the scholarly record has grown, so have bibliographic control instruments, some of which are in machine readable form. The expense of setting up an organization for access to the machine readable data bases seems beyond the budgets of most institutions. The objective is to establish a dependable service organization to make machine readable…

Altmann, Berthold – 1972
An automated SDI service based on tapes supplied by DDC, Science Abstracts, and Engineering Index is evaluated as a component element of the entire HDL information system. Current studies for improving the efficiency are briefly described,--in particular, the establishment of a parameter reference service that should shorten the lead-time for the…

Jacob, R. – Information Scientist, 1972
The first part of the paper deals with statute law and describes the inadequacy of the official Statutes Revised' system for maintaining up-to-date records. There is a similar lack of official retrieval tools for tracing information on case law. The problems of factual information retrieval are dealt with briefly. (Author/NH)

Olson, Tom; And Others – 1973
WISE-ONE is a bibliographic information retrieval system which is designed to perform keyword searches of such data-bases as the ERIC RESUMAST and the ERIC CIJEMAST. Produced as a result of the search are the ERIC citation numbers, titles, authors, and, in the case of the journal file, the journal citation. Because WISE-ONE allows for nesting of…
