INTRODUCTION

In place of the January lecture in the London Winter Meetings series for 1955–56 Aslib members were given the opportunity to visit a number of interesting organizations. These included the London School of Printing and Graphic Art, the Document Reproduction Department of the Shell Petroleum Co., Ltd., the Victoria and Albert Museum Library, the B.B.C. Television Centre, including its library, and the Press Cutting Library of the Royal Institute of International Affairs. The helpful co‐operation of those who made these visits possible was much appreciated.
