Hearing, Speech, and Communication Disorders: Cumulated Citations 1974

Description

Information analysis centers were developed to help the scientist and
practitioner cope with the ever­ increasing mass of published and unpublished
information in a specific field. Their establishment resulted from a further
extension of those pressures that had brought about the formation of the
specialized primary journal and the abstracting services at the turn of the
century. The information analysis center concept was greatly advanced by the
1963 report of the President’s Science Advisory Committee Panel on Science
Information. This report stated: ” . . . scientific interpreters who can
collect relevant data, review a field, and distill information in a manner
that goes to the heart of a technical situation are more help to the
overburdened specialist than is a mere pile of relevant docu­ ments. ” Such
specialized information centers are operated in closest possible contact with
working scientists in the field. These centers not only furnish information
about ongoing research and dis­ seminate and retrieve information but also
create new information and develop new methods of infor­ mation analysis,
synthesis, and dissemination. The continually expanding biomedical literature
produced by scientists from the world’s laboratories, research centers, and
medical centers led the National Institute of Neurological Diseases and Stroke
in 1964 to initiate a national Neurological Information Network of specialized
centers for neurological information. The Centers are designed to bring under
control and to promote ready access to important segments of the literature.
