Abstract

Unnecessary expenditures exist in the duplication of cataloging technical reports by the technical libraries of the Department of Defense. This duplication can be eliminated by requiring each activity originating reports to do the complete cataloging. Cataloging information should be provided to all recipients of reports by making it an integral part of the reports. This plan requires the establishment of DOD‐wide standards for descriptive, subject, and subject code cataloging, and the creation of a standard code and dictionary for machine retrieval of technical information. The plan presents the framework for the elimination of the present duplication and indicates the potential savings to be realized.
