Abstract: There are two fundamental approaches to literature retrieval. The manual system has been in existence in some form since man began shelving books. Electronic methods have become important to librarians only during the current decade. The following is an overview of the history and development of electronic literature searching. More than 30 years ago, Vannevar Bush, in his well-known article, As We May Think, isolated an underlying problem which has long confronted those who must acquire, organize, retrieve, and disseminate information. Selection or retrieval from human memory is not oriented to alphabetical or numerical sequences, and yet many catalogs and indices are arranged in that manner. Vannevar Bush could not envision that anyone could ever hope to duplicate electronically the intellectual associations which permit man to conceptualize.
