Seventh cranfield international conference on mechanised information storage and retrieval systems: The potential impact of telecommunication networks on information systems intelligence

摘要

The impact of telecommunications technology on the information profession is reviewed. The potential for the application of “information intelligence”—using the considerable know-how of the information profession—to new technologies is explored. It is concluded that there is much more to be gained from the application of professional knowledge to systems design than to the perfection of searching techniques on behalf of end users.
