INFORMATION In The BUILDING INDUSTRY: One‐day Conference, London, 9th December 1959

Abstract

The Chairman of the morning session was Mr Norman Longley, CBE. Before introducing the speakers he pointed out that the conference was assembled to discuss problems of documentation in the building industry from two points of view, that of the purveyors and that of the users of information. In the morning Mr Agard Evans would speak of the existing information services and Mr Keith Martin of the needs of the users. After that the proceedings would become elastic and it was hoped that delegates would come forward to speak their own views and ask what questions they wished. Mr Longley pointed out that speakers and delegates would express their personal feeling on the matters in hand. The most important function of the morning meeting was to throw out questions which might be followed up at the afternoon session by the discussion panel of purveyors and users.
