Abstract:

Lack of a systematic information policy in the Seattle District Army Corps of Engineers resulted in inefficient use of internal information and staff time. After the problem was analyzed by the Districts library staff, an in-house computerized information storage and retrieval system was tested. A sample of in-house reports was indexed and input into the local Harris computer utilizing FAMULUS software. The final analysis of the sample determined that the FAMULUS software was insufficient to manipulate the large file. The study team recommended that the purchase of large file, bibliographic oriented software be made to allow a larger file size and more sophisticated searching capabilities. Author
