Abstract:

Microfilming of QDRI records was proposed in order to make total QDRI registration data more accessible to all QDRI offices, create uniform Army-wide QDRI records, reduce volume of QDRI files, limit data requirements on the QDRI data bank RODATA, and provide faster and more accurate updating of industrial R and D catalog information. The VSMF System of Information Handling Services, Englewood, Colo. was selected as a promising possibility. This report outlines the results obtained from a test using Boston Procurement District files, and contains recommendations for expansion to an Army-wide standard operating system. This activity is considered as a part of the Armys scientific and technical information program.
