”The original draft papers were sponsored by the TISA (Technical Information Support
Activités) Project of the Army Corps of Engineers... The establishment of priorities for
TISA-sponsored research was undertaken by the Graduate Library School of the University
of Indiana. The ... Project ... was conducted in four successive steps ... : data gathering
and survey of 100 Department of Defense (DoD) and other Fédéral librarians ; utilization
of the Delphi Technique to identify salient problems and issues confronting scientific
and technical libraries and information centers ; brainstorming by a panel of ten experts
to distill and synthesize the findings of the prior steps into eleven areas of focal interest
and concern ; préparation of review papers by library and information experts covering
the areas identified and structured.”
