  Some quotes from the 1962 volume of American Documentation
I love when off site storage sends me the whole volume instead of just an article through ILL. I wanted to check on Taylor's article on questions [*] and I was flipping through...
Was '62 a very good year? This was fun... but back to work :)

[*] Taylor, R. S. (1962). Process of asking questions. American Documentation, 13(4), 391-396.
-- wow, the whole visceral, conscious, formalized, compromised thing references Perry 1961?

  Re-reading Taylor '68, still a favorite
One of my favorite articles is R.S. Taylor's 1968 article on question negotiation [*]. I'm reading it again now and really looking at it closely. I actually thought to check, and DTIC has scanned the technical report that the C&RL article summarizes [**]. I always credited this article with the 4 levels of information need:
  1. viseral
  2. conscious
  3. formalized
  4. compromised
It turns out that this information appears in the lit review or background section, not in the results and conclusions. He must have gotten this from ? (wrote this part before the post that appears in the blog just before this...)

Love this quote. More to come on this article, I'm sure.
But routine automation is merely an extension of the control and warehousing functions of libraries. The work described here is an early effort to understand better the communications functions of libraries and similar types of information centers, because this is what libraries are all about. [emphasis his]

  Pulliam for Director-at-Large
*not a solicited endorsement, just because I want to!*
If you're in ASIS&T, be sure to vote. More importantly, consider voting for blogger and all-around fabulous librarian Beatrice Pulliam. She's done some great programs for NEASIST and has run the conference blog for the last couple of years. She's enthusiastic, has great ideas, and I believe will make great contributions to the society. We need more like her in leadership!

You should have gotten an e-mail from ASIS&T with voting information. Contact the office if you haven't received your login information.
