Preliminary plans have been discussed for Glasgow, and a one day joint meeting with the LA Cataloguing and Indexing Group looking at retrieval problems common to libraries archives and museums is being planned. The section continues to publish a Newsletter for Section members, for members of the Standing Committee and for others interested in classification and indexing. Two issues have been published during the current year. This acts as a channel for imparting information about what is happening at national level and for sharing in the experiences of others. It is also an excellent forum for the discussion of matters of international concern relating to classification and indexing.
Contributions are always very welcome.
