Notes:
Successful searching for publications on the basis of subject obeys rules whose relations to thermodynamics are unmistakable. As a collection of literature grows, the degree of order required increases, since the patience, time, and memory used by man to compensate for lack of order cannot keep pace. The high degrees of order that are necessary nowadays in scientific literature cannot be attained by traditional documentation methods. If modern techniques are used to improve communication, the conceptual basis of such a documentation method must be revised and adapted to suit the new possibilities. The conditions in chemistry are relatively favorable for the effective use of modern technical and conceptual methods, since the terminology has been developed further than in most other sciences.
