The Agricultural Information Review Committee Report and afterwards: a summary

During recent years the British Library Research and Development Department and its forerunner, the Office for Scientific and Technical Information, have, in addition to normal funding of research projects on specific topics, supported the work of a series of Review Committees. The Review Committees have been set up to review past and current information research in the United Kingdom in various areas of knowledge, and to recommend topics for further research and development in those areas. The subject areas so far covered include Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Medicine, Metals Information and Agriculture. The Agricultural Information Review Committee, with which this report is particularly concerned, was set up in October 1976, and its Report was published by the British Library (BLR & DD Report 5469) in May 1979.
