project, funded at 18,300 pounds for two years, is under the sup¬ 
ervision of H B Whittington. It will be concerned with the eval¬ 
uation of the whole system. It includes a rigorous testing of 
the system to meet the needs of the curators of the Sedgwick Mu¬ 
seum; an assessment of its cost and effectiveness in this context; 
and the production of catalogues and indexes of the material as 
required. In addition, ways will be sought to inform potential 
users--geologists and other scientists--of this approach to data 
handling, in the hope that they can be helped to organize and make 
the best use of their records and data.--From OSTI Newsletter, 
no . 4 , 1971 , pp. 3-4.
