The present‐day chemist is constantly on the lookout for information which may be useful to his work. If he is able to define his interests precisely enough then he can avail himself of information scientists and of specialized literature stores. However, retaining access to such information, which only he himself can subjectively judge for relevance to his work, and which most often constitutes a powerful incentive to his creative thinking, will always require his own “browsing” literature studies or personal contacts. These are the limitations of any delegated literature search.
