- Abstract
- Paper-based manual filing systems are inadequate to handle the flood of information found in most commercial offices and government agencies. Examples are included to delineate the dimensions of the problem. In response, imaging technology, which converts information in paper format to computer-readable binary format, is creating a multitude of electronic databases. However, imaging vendors are minimizing the difficulties of database organization. The author, drawing on personal experience, recounts instances of inadequate database organization. Because classification and indexing principles are only imparted in schools of library and/or information science, the imaging industry is highly dependent upon expertise possessed by library science graduates. In order to take advantage of this new job market, recommendations for library science students and faculty are included.
