- Abstract
- In 1987 the Department of Library and Information Science at the University of South Africa committed itself to a research programme on community information. As part of that programme, the Department's Centre for Library and Information Service is compiling a prototype resource file of community information for a well-defined community in the Pretoria municipality. To retrieve information from the file, the Centre adopted an alphabetical approach, which necessitated a thesaurus. Instead of developing a thesaurus for the specific needs of the particular community, a "master" thesaurus, applicable to South African communities can be generated. The development of this South African "master" thesaurus for community information is described and the results reviewed.
