Abstract

In a university department, small batches of geological data from dtfferent sources may be punched on
cards for computer analysis. At the University of Reading efforts have been made to develop procedures
for filing the cards for future reference. In a few topics, it has been possible to standardize methods of
data recording. Otherwise, emphasis has been placed on documenting the data adequately. Without
becoming involved in the complexities of computer storage, editing, and retrieval, a small data library
has been developed in which data cards punched 5 yr ago can be found and understood today.
