Abstract

An attempt was made to assess the potential use of holography in information storage and retrieval systems. Various scientific (physics), engineering, and business indexes were searched as well as those dealing with information science and libraries. A great many articles were found in the first three, all of which indicate the vast amount of interest, research, and development in the field, and lead to the conclusion that holography is one of the most promising methods now under research for the achievement of high bulk storage with fast random access at a reasonable cost. Because such a method implies a far greater than present ability to store, access, and transmit information on the part of information centers and libraries, and because little has been written in their literature, this paper has been prepared as a “state of the art” to provide background knowledge which is expected to be useful to many in the future.
