Abstract

The last two Aslib meetings which I have attended I found perhaps a little disturbing. The one before the last was the Annual Conference of the Chemical Group and, although I was not there for all of it, I did listen to the discussion. One speaker started out essentially bemoaning that librarianship was not what it used to be; it had gone to the dogs as far as he was concerned, and part of the blame—at least a large part of the blame—was that infernal machine, the computer. We can be thankful the discussion did not end on that note.
