COMMITTEE ON DOCUMENTATION
MEMORANDUM FOR: Executive Secretary, USIB
SUBJECT: Information on CODIB-Sponsored Research Studies
REFERENCE: USIB-D-27.1/22, 20 November 1962
1. Attached, in res;potnse 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 1962) but would appear to be outside
the scope of this request.

t. Planned Completion Date: 1 June 1963 for the Stage I plan (USIB--D-39~ 7/3
as approved by USIB-M-202, Item 3) which calls for 1) determination
of information needs and ;.resent capabilities In automated systems;
and 2) identification and measurement of present information move-
ment and repositories within ngn-automated processes.
Ste: Extreme difficulty In meeting personnel comnmitment% for departmAnt*l
assignments to SCIPS delayed action to the degree required in original
Phase I planning. Now all agencies or departments are at least

represented, although not yet to the degree originally planned. Ov-
site surveys to gather basic data are continuing, hampered temporarily
by the recent need for maximum attention to Vie Cuban crisis and by
the need to re-design or modify some of the field survey procedures.
The end result will probably be adherence to the planned completion
date of 1 June 63, but with cut-back in the number of components
visited for on-site data accumulation.
