English abstract

Enumerates the information explosion environment and the findings of past research on information gathering patterns of engineers, presents basic concepts of documentation, information and personal documentation and information system, stresses the need for systematic management of personal documentation and information system, explains briefly the various principles, procedures and processes involved in developing and managing personal documentation and information system and concludes by calling for little investment of time and energy on the part of engineers to develop and maintain scientific personal documentation and information systems to derive enormous benefits to the organisations and individuals.
