Abstract
The Chairman, Mr. Leslie Wilson, Director of Aslib, said that at the 1954 Annual Conference in London he had suggested, as part of a talk about the future development of Aslib, that research was destined to play a central part. He had been surprised that an audience, whose main raison dêtre was research in other fields, should have apparently found it difficult to accept the point of view that research was appropriate in their own field. He had been surprised because he saw research not as some mystical activity finding its origin in something beyond the ken of the ordinary person but as a purely practical step towards the improvement of the way in which they did their daily job.
