- Herbert H. Field, Concilium Bibliographicum (Zurich). See Bulletin of ASISTAug 2016.
- In USA: Watson Davis, Jesse Shera promoted Documentation: American Documentation Institute (1937, became ASIST); Journal of Documentary Reproduction (ALA, 1938-42; became JASIST). Microfilm. Social epistemology?
Influence masked by strong development of special libraries in USA. - Neo-documentalistrevival in Europe and USA in the 1990s revived interest in a “document-centric” perspective for Information Science: Physical and social and cognitive aspects.
