Abstract

The article focuses on the significance of keeping the scientific literature, with the increasing growth of scientific activity. According to sources, the volume of published literature increases every year and many professional scientists conclude that it is not their concern but it is for librarians to undertake the management of what has been considered as information crisis. Thus, the librarians are supplied with substantial technical advice showing how computers not yet designed makes rapid searches through catalogues still to be compiled. However, that kind of self-critical domestic help is not yet ready to be provided by the technical community to soften the edge of the crisis.
