Information retrieval-a comprehensive indexed bibliography of 1957-1961 world literature

Machine literature search techniques have gained wide interest as solutions to the information handling problem since 1957. Feasible machine methods were used before this time, but wide acceptance and implementation has been of recent date. This subject-classified bibliography of the world´s literature for the 1957-1961 period is concerned with various aspects of mechanizing storage and retrieval of documented information. Materials cited here have been drawn from sources usually exploited in larg-e U.S. libraries, and deal with the specialized technology of documentation; including its functions of indexing, coding, staffing, systems design, and computing facilities. English, French, and German predominate as the languages of technical discourse; however the English version of a citation for a given item has been preferred to others.
