It was Faraday who in 1821 said that there are three necessary
stages of useful research. The first to begin it, the second to*
end it, and the third 1 to publish it. There has since indeed been
so much research and publication that we have become increasingly
alarmed by the galloping proliferation of scientific information
produced in relation to the user's ability to retrieve and consume
it effectively, conveniently and creatively. In 1948, to deal with
this concern, the Royal Society Scientific Infor 1 mation
Conference held in London spanned the whole realm of scientific in
formation. Sir Robert Robinson, President of the Royal Society, in
his open ing address noted that "the study of scientific
information services in all its ramifications has enormous scope",
and the London conference dealt with scientific publication,
format, editorial policy, subject grouping, organiza tion,
abstracting, reviews, classification, indexing and training of
infor mation officers. It was about this time that information
science began to develop more on the retrieval end, so it seems
logical that the first editors' group founded in 1949 was ICSU AB,
the International Council of Scientific Unions Abstract ing Board.
In 1958 the National Academy of Sciences International Conference
of 2 Scientific Information in Washington limited its interests and
expanded on the later phases of the life cycle of information -
storage and retrieval.
