Abstract
The major abstracting and indexing services of the world exist today in an environment of constant change as they tool up, plan for, test, and to some degree already put into effect new and untried projects and procedures. They see the necessity and the opportunities for playing a larger and more active role in the dissemination of scientific information. The publication, in the traditional manner of ever greater numbers of abstracts, reflecting the explosive growth of scientific literature, is providing, also, a basis for a wide variety of information services, tailored to fit group or even individual requirements. We at Biological Abstracts are seeking and finding new and more active means to draw upon the large inventory of information that rapidly accrues in the abstracting and indexing of the world''s biological literature. Our active research and development program has as its objectives the further development and refinement of an information system for biology[long dash]dynamic, more flexible, responsive to changing needs of biologists, and combining the scientific skills of a competent staff with the capabilities of computers. This system, must have as its goal the capability of reacting readily with similar information systems supporting other scientific disciplines, not only in this country but throughout the scientific world.
