English abstract

Discusses lack of clarity of objectives of information systems, inadequate level of understanding of information requirements of users, exemplifies the nature of work of scientists and engineers and the consequent purposes of seeking information by them, put forth with few examples the lacunae in the present way of organisation and retrieval of information. Concludes by highlighting the need-based approach in design and operation of information systems for space scientists and engineers and recommends establishing an ‘Information Systems Planning and Assessing Cell’
