DOC-Finder (Non-conventional Methods in Document Retrieval. 3). (Development of library science. 10)

Shows the importance of using electronic engineering in documentation. Gives an idea of the kind of depth classification needed in documentation and the enormous number of entries to be stored in the documentation list. Indicates the qualities of a conventional documentation list (Classified Catalogue) which should be simulated by the Doc-Finder. Chalks out a scheme for the comparative study of the time and cost involved in the two systems. Further, suggests the need for studying the conditions of viability of the use of Doc-Finder. Finally, gives the plan of the proposed series of papers published in this special issue on "Doc-Finder3" and to be published later in the same series.
