Planning of Library and Documentation Systems : need for a cell for developmental research in documentation

Abstract

The need for developing the basic tools for documentation services, especially the design of depth schedules for classification, by the various documentation centres themselves, is discussed. The work analysis and the time required for the design of depth schedule is illustrated with a case study . It is suggested that it is much more helpful for the various documentation centres to design the depth schedules r a t h e r than to depend en one or two research institutions . Therefore, it is proposed that a draft plan for library and documentation systems should make provision for developmental research in the field of library and information science.
