Abstract |
A method developed for the Division of Radiological Health research grants for use in retrieving scientific information readily by means either of a manual system or an automatic information processing system, or a combination of the two, is described. The principles of the method are applicable or adaptable to other programs in which scientific information retrieval is required. The system described is based on the special experiences of the Division or Radiological Health Research Grants Staff and applies to the problems characteristic of its operations. Specific examples of coding and searching are given, with special attention to needs related to program and discipline areas, as well as to scientific content. (Author) |
