- Office automation systems have often tended
to concentrate on hardware, with little consideration given to
the organisation, storage and retrieval of the mass of information
which will be fed into them. This collection of papers (presented
to the Text Retrieval Conference of the Institute of Information
Scientists) concentrates on these aspects of office automation,
examining information handling techniques which ensure accessibility
of company and other information. The practical implications
and possible pitfalls of office automation systems are discussed,
including policy decisions to be made concerning company information,
what to ask suppliers, the integration of new and existing information
systems, and new communications technologies.
-
- A book which illustrates in a precise way
the relationship between office automation, the ways in which
offices actually run, and the ways in which they could be run.

- 'There is a considerable information in
these papers which anyone involved in office automation and information
management will find fascinating.... I enjoyed the conference,
I enjoyed the book - both have stimulated me to think more seriously
about the management of information within my organization. You
are too late for the conference, but not for the book.'
