Information Systems and the IEEE. With the development of new methods of transferring and retrieving scientific and technical information, the question arises, “Are there more efficient and effectual ways of disseminating technical information than by publication of periodicals and their distribution to subscribers?” It is clear that some of the new techniques of information transfer presently under discussion could have a profound effect on the operations of the IEEE. It is therefore of utmost importance that the Institute keep abreast of, and contribute positively to, these developments.
