Abstract
In his editorial in this issue of the Transactions, Dr. Schoenfeld introduces the IEEE catalog card program to members of the Bio-Medical Engineering Group. In future issues each paper will be assigned a catalog card which collects into one place the conventional bibliographic information such as author and title, the abstract, and a brief set of index terms describing the most significant topics in the papers. The index terms are intended to expedite efficient storage and retrieval of papers by subject matter rather than only by author, title and general subject category. The purpose of this paper is to illuminate the considerations that led to the introduction of the use of index terms and to indicate the scope of the overall IEEE information system program.
