Abstract
"An attempt to present a thorough discussion of the selection and
acquisition of research reports reminds me of a slogan printed on my
teen-age daughter's jacket: ""Do you have a minute? Tell me all you
know. ""
I am reminded of this slogan for two reasons: (1) the subject
is a complex, many-faceted, rapidly changing one and a topic about
which nobody, I suppose, has all the facts, and (2) I certainly lay no
claim to being an expert, even though I am more than 100 miles from
home.
Within the limits of my knowledge, I will present a brief outline
of the recent growth of research, some effects of this growth upon the
body of report literature, some problems of the government which
inhibit reporting on research, efforts of the government to improve
the flow of information, and a generalized discussion of the selection
and acquisition of reports. I should state at this point that in my paper
I will discuss primarily scientific and technical reports resulting from
government- sponsored research and development. I have limited myself
to this topic because it is one about which I have a modicum of
knowledge."
