Planning a network for scientific and technological information services in Israel

Abstract

When information facilities in Israel had reached some level of sufficiency a committee was appointed to review existing services and submit proposals for their future development. The committee's report was issued in 1970 and like similar reports prepared elsewhere it contained a broad outline of the objectives which information services in Israel should strive at. Present planning aims to break down these objectives into a detailed list of activities, setting forth priorities, costs, manpower, physical facilities, organizational and managerial decisions, etc. This paper describes initial detailed planning activities and some conclusions which have already been arrived at.
