THE Documentation Research Project of the American Institute of Physics is currently engaged in the research phase of a program which has as its eventual aim the development of a reference retrieval system for physicists. The work is being carried out at the Institute under the direction of Hugh C. Wolfe, with Mrs. Pauline A. Atherton devoting full time to it as assistant director of the project; support for the program is provided under a grant from the National Science Foundation. Expert assistance is available from persons skilled in documentation techniques and from several physicists who are serving either as special consultants or as members of the Institute’s Advisory Committee on Documentation Research.
