PRIMARY MATERIALS IN The SOCIAL SCIENCES CONCLUSIONS

This conference is both important and timely, because of the imminent appearance of a White Paper on the British Library, and the possibility of influencing government policy on the provision of social science materials at a national level. Obviously the British Libraries Board will have a great many matters to see to, and there is a great danger that questions such as we have been discussing will go by default unless a special point is made of them. The Aslib Social Sciences Group is one of the few bodies with the background and expertise to make comments and proposals.
