Plan for Local Documentation Service : some suggestions in the context of the Plans for National Documentation Systems

Abstract

Some attempts are on their way to establish national documentation centres for different subject fields. When these centres come into effective operation, they are likely to effect the structure of the services rendered by a local documentation centre. This paper attempts to suggest the kinds of documentation services that a local documentation centre can attempt to do. It als0 points out the areas for cooperation and co-ordination among the national documentation and local documentation centres in building up an effective infra-structure for documentation service in India.
