It probably is Barbara Kyle. I think she was in her 60s  when she died so
not that young.

She was a specialist in Social Sciences, devised the 4 classification
schemes for the then Uneso bibliographies of Anthropology, Economics,
Politics etc., did some research work for Aslib with Vickery and was
Librarian at Chatham House,  wrote in things like the Sayers Memorial
Volume, American Documentation, J Doc and the little green booklet done by
the CRG in the early 60s on the basis of a general classification scheme.

Incientally, from that list, Berwick Sayers has no hyphen - Berwick was his
christian name.
