Developing networked documentation services in social sciences

The International Committee for Social Science Information and Documentation collects, keeps up-to-date and disseminates information on documentation services in the social sciences, including the compilation of current bibliographies and directories. It studies appropriate steps for ensuring the systematic development of such documentary instruments, advises social science bodies on questions relating to bibliography and documentation and draws up technical rules likely to improve the management of social science information, documents and databases.

The committee Social Sciences Information and Documentation FID/EI) of the International Federation for Information and Documentation is concerned with the advancement and promotion of all information and documentation services in the social sciences.
