REVIEWS
Abstract
Many of the fatuities and disasters attending the introduction of computers into Library and Information Services (LIS) can be ascribed to the ill‐conceived notion that intellectual analysis both of the subjects of documents and of enquiries for information was no longer needed, that the machine would perform all the necessary concept relationships in short order and without human intervention. Anyone who has patiently watched Prestel clanking away in search of cricket scores will appreciate the fallacy well enough.
