    It is a lecture paper presented at the 26th Hokuriku Seminar on Science and Technology Information Activities. The lecturer first describes characteristics of information age, and current situation that importance of information management and documentation particularly have been increasingly elevated, and suggests how organizations should respond to such situation. Then he analyzes international comparison of R&D investments and cycle of technological innovation, and discusses what R&D should be from now on by showing some examples on thema, coverage, development scheme, so on. He also mentions the links to management strategy. The lecture is concluded with that it is essential to conduct strategic use of information when you do decision making of. predict and assess R&D at information age.

    It is the fact agreed among science history scholars that the center of scientific and technological activities had moved to Italy, England and Germany, and then to America in the 1930s throughout the modern science and technology history of 500 years since the Renaissance, If we see it broadly. In the period of transition between the latter part of 19 century and the early part of 20 century when the center is transferred to America from Europe, we can see that change in research structure which reflected such transition occurred there. Taking examples of physics, chemistry and genetics particularly this paper describes how leading scientists and rcpresentative scientific literatures in the both continents sandwlching the Atlantic Ocean competed each other and changed.

    Recently MARC on CD-ROM, that a personal computer can use, becomes to be produced. It is possible on a cataloger's desk to retrieve a lot of bibliographic data for the last few decades and also possible to get a disk of the standard bibliographic data by downloading from it. This paper describes the DTC(Desk Top Catalog (ing)) system, of which operation is almost the same as J-BISC(Japan Biblio Disc) system operation, using the downloaded bibliographic data from J-BISC. The MUMPS is used to construct this system. The most notable features of this system are as follows; No bibliographic data downloaded from J-BISC is eliminated. This system can be easily adapted to hierarchy structured bibliographic data.

    Sanyo Kokusaku Pulp Co., Ltd., Department of Patent Information constructed an inhouse database using an optical file and OCR. The system consists of a database where primary information is input in form of its image on an optical file, and a database where secondary information (bibliographic information and abstracts) is read by kanji OCR and then encoded. A thesaurus was not employed in the database of secondary information. Instead full-text searching was used there. Thus the system brings save-space for storing primary materials, save-labor for input work, and higher precision of intormation retrieval. This paper describes the inhouse database construction from its beginning, the background and the features. Also the author talks his own opinion and thought on inhouse database construction.

    High speed processing of large amount of information, versatile searching capabilities and data sharing by multiple users through networks are requisites for databases of which objective is company-wide information services, so that information retrieval system using all-purpose computers are needed in this case. On the other hand progress in office automation has enabled to create databases from in-house document data by personal computers which are used only for particular office processing at certain sections inside a company, and utilize it only for particular business operations. As those databases are often useful as information source for company-wide databases, it seems important to consider how the all-purpose computer should be linked to the personal computers. How to create personal computer databases is explained showing some examples in which table calculation software is used.
