(5) Information Analysis and Consolidation Centres Information analysis and consolidation activities are not of recent origin. Its history can be traced back to the 19th century and according to Kertesz (1983) "are embedded in the tradition of 19 century scientists such as Beilstein and Gmelin, who accepted the challenge to bring some kind of order in the ever increasing flood of data, to make experimental findings conveniently available to other scientists" by means of handbooks and data compilations. According to Kertesz, Beilstein and Gmelin were one-man analysis centres in the truest meaning of the concept and their data compilations are precursors of data books and handbooks of 20th century. However, the term 'Information Analysis and Consolidation is of recent origin. General Information Programme (PGI) of UNESCO, while seeking solutions to the barriers to the use of information in developing countries, suggested information consolidation as possible solution. PGI, UNESCO sponsored three meetings in the years 1975, 1978 and 1983 respectively on the above topic. In its second meeting, 'UNESCO Symposium on Information Analysis and Consolidation (1978) the definitions and distinctions, particularly of the terms Analysis' and 'Information Consolidation Unit' in relation to their particular function, were discussed at great length. It was observed that *Analysis' comprised a wide range of functions, such as abstracting, indexing, translation, reviewing, consolidation etc. However, a number of analysis centres do not always perform the consolidation function. It was also pointed out that 'information consolidation activities can be performed within institutions or systems other than information analysis centres, even by individuals or groups of individuals. It was therefore decided that the term 'information consolidation activities' should be used. Individuals or groups of individuals performing information consolidation activities would each constitute an 'Information Consolidation Unit (ICU). It was pointed out that the most important consolidation function was evaluation, i.e. the retaining of reliable information only. Therefore, the resultant products of information consolidation activities are reliable and concise carrying usually an added value. While origin of Information Analysis Centres (IACs) was due to untiring efforts of a few dedicated and devoted specialists, the present day Information Consolidation Units (ICUS) have been due to the interest and efforts of numerous sponsoring agencies belonging to both the private and public sectors. It is observed that most of these ICUs are located in the parent institutions and their activities are in conformity with the objectives of the parent institutions, though they may be sponsored or supported by other organizations.
