Document Storage and Retrieval in the Electronic Office

Abstract

Electronic office systems involving the creation, transmission and storage of documents are now being installed with fifty or more user stations. Little provision is yet being made for the filing and retrieval of documents held within the systems, and problems common in conventional filing and registry practice will be at least as difficult in the electronic office. Proposals are made for practical approaches to the design of electronic office systems to provide for the effective storage and retrieval of the documents which they generate.
