Abstract

This paper reports the results of a pilot study of (a) the provision of press cuttings libraries and (b) use of press cuttings by social scientists. The study was undertaken for a Working Group convened in September 1975 by the British International Studies Association (BISA). (The Working Group included members of the BISA, the Political Studies Association, the Joint University Council for Social and Political Administration, the Association of University Teachers of Economics, the Association of Contemporary Historians, and also the press librarians at the Royal Institute of International Affairs (RIIA) and the International Institute for Strategic Studies.) Part of the study was carried out by the Aslib Consultancy Service. The project was financed by a grant from the Nuffield Foundation.
