Abstract
The author notes that the dissemination of technical information in a software development organization-project memos, software engineering process documents, local computing facility documentation-is often not organized and controlled adequately to meet the needs of staff. He describes common problems in this activity and presents a model of the development and use of documents in these organizations. Requirements for a simple system solving the problems are given, and lASO (Libraries for accessing, sharing, and organizing documents), a prototype based on the model and meeting most of the requirements, is described.<>
