Abstract: Examines the New methods and techniques for the communication of knowledge by Coblans and the Current documentation topics and their relevance to social science literature by Kyle. Sets out the causes for the crisis in documentation work. Suggests 'five additional problems for investigation viz. t) Will the Bernal and the Donker Duyvis Plans fail to stimulate new-comers into research-field? 2) Adequate coverage in international documentation of nascent micro thought of Asian and African origin. 3) Reconciliation of the requirements of the design of clas sification for all its purposes and of machinery for search. 4) Comparative eva « 1uation of machinery for search and visual scanning when individualisingclass numbers and chain procedure are used. 5l Design of machinery for copying selected entries economically from a catalogue designed for efficient visual scanning. Points out the problem of standardising terminology in social sciences falls largely within the sphere of the respective linguistic groups instead of in the international plane.
