English abstract
A system (SOCRATE) has been used in Spain since 1978 to re-transmit searches from the searching terminal to a second, remote terminal, where an end user or an inexperienced searcher (or both together) can watch the development of the search strategy and interact with the search. Certain operative requirements have slowed its adoption, but at CIDC (Barcelona, Spain) it has proved very useful to send searches to other parts of Spain. In such cases, the end user establishes telephone contact with CIDC rather than directly with the host. The article describes SOCRATE and comments upon its strengths and weaknesses.
