COMMITTEE ON DOCUMENTATION
MEMORANDUM FOR: Executive Secretary, USIB
SUBJECT: InZormation on CODIB-Sponsored Research Studies
REFERENCE: USIB-D-27.1/22, 20 November 1962
L. Attached, in response to referenced document, are summaries of
relevant studies or developmental efforts sponsored directly by the Committee
on Documentation (CODIB).
2. Efforts to develop Community standards in report formatting, docu-
ment or information indexing, and multi-million dollar information systems
design are stimulated by CODIB catalytic action and, in turn, may lead to
departmental R&D or formal study; the3e departmental activities are
reflected in some detail in the rather voluminous appendices to the CODIB
Annual Report (CODIB-AR-4. 31 July 3 962) but would appear to be outside
. the scope Of the request.
