ROLE OF THE TECHNICAL LIBRARY IN SUPPORT OF AN INFORMATION CENTER

Abstract

The information center is defined as that organization which acquires, stores, indexes, analyzes and synthesizes data and information. The library acquires, indexes, stores and disseminates documents and information. The information center's major product appears in reports which have evaluated, analyzed, integrated and synthesized the data of a special scientific topic and presented it in graphic or tabular form. The library supports the activities of the information center by providing for its acquisitions. The library can also provide assistance to the information center through its familiarity with information retrieval principles. The information center can rely on the library to provide it with indexing and abstracting tools which provide a means of access to related information. The library also supports the information center with its current awareness announcement bulletins.
