Discontinuance of CIA's Intelligence
Publications Index (I?!)
REFERENCE: RADC letter of 4 April 1968 addressed to
CIA (Central Reference Service)
1. The development of alternative means of access to
intelligence publications by the Central Reference Service is still
in process. Included In our program are a major reorganization
from functional to area oriented components; a shift from multiple,
specialized indexes to a keyword and shallow classification system;
and, the development of computer programs to afford a variety of
searches and list-outs of our index records upon demand. We
estimate that the system will not be fully operational for another
six months and suggest that you submit examples of specific
requirements on or about 1 October of this year.
2. Our decision to discontinue the Intelligence Publications
Index was based in part on the substantially duplicative Register of
Intelligence Publications (RIP) produced by ILIA. It is our
understanding that DIA plans to expand the next Issue of RIP to
include the publications of DOD commands.
