Number 213 in the Occasional Papers series
A Long Search for Information
By Brian Vickery

Brian Vickery, one of the foremost information scientists of our day,
describes his career in this highly personal and historically perceptive
memoir. A leader in classification research, he was also a pioneer in the
introduction of online searching into libraries. His several books on
information retrieval have become classics in their areas and have won him
a wide audience in the US as well as the UK. His importance in the world
of scientific libraries and librarianship culminated in his tenure as
Professor and Director of the School of Library, Information and Archives
Studies at University College, London, 1973-1983. His close working
relationship with leaders in the profession both in the UK and
internationally, are recalled in this brief and delightful account.
