UNISIST

1. Introduction: The word UNISIST was never meant to be an acronym but rather to connote phonetically the part that U. N. Agencies particularly UNESCO should play in the promotion of an international system for information covering science and technology. UNISIST stood for the study of the conference and for the programmers launched thereafter. So UNISIST is an international project sponsor by UNESCO.

The two organizations UNESCO and ICSU jointly formed a UNESCO / ICSU central committee in January 1967 to carry out a feasibility study for a world science information system. The feasibility study continued for about 4 years and in 1970 the report entitled UNISIST study report on feasibility of a world science information system by UNESCO and ICSU was published and widely distributed. The feasibility report was prepared by Jean Claude Gardin. This report and a synoptic version became the working document of the UNISIST inter governmental conference held in Paris in October 1971.

A second conference, the inter-governmental conference on scientific and technical information for development was held in Paris in 1979 to review development since UNISIST conference of 1971. This was known as UNISIST –II.

2. Aims and Objectives: The ultimate goal or keynote of UNISIST is the establishment of a flexible and loosely connected network of information services based on voluntary cooperation. UNISIST aim to coordinate existing trends toward cooperation and to act as a catalyst for the necessary

development in scientific and technical information and to develop the necessary condition for system interconnections and to facilitate access to world information resources.
