Letter to the Editor

Dear Madam, An item on ‘The new BUCOP’ appeared in the July 1964 issue of the Aslib Proceedings in the section labelled ‘Aslib Information’. It seems to me that only the second and fourth paragraphs of this item could qualify as ‘information’, while the rest, while too superficial to be called a critical review, yet contained certain critical comments. I would not like it to be thought that the NCL and the Editor of BUCOP were unduly sensitive to criticism; indeed, the article on the new BUCOP which appeared in the June issue of the Aslib Proceedings specifically invited comments on the publication, which would be given most serious consideration. However, it seems to me that the points made by your ‘reviewer’ can and ought to be answered.
