Swedish Embassy

Scientific Information. Only a few offices are prepared to provide information concerning scientific activity. When unable to answer a request, the usual procedure in the information office is to refer it to a suitable home ministry. The British Information Services and those of the commonwealths are well qualified to supply information bearing on research. The Pakistan Association for the Advancement of Science offers a good select bibliography concerning scientific progress there. Several countries (Sweden, Union of South Africa, etc.) have stationed in the United States science attaches whose function is to channel notice of American scientific advances to their countries. The technical adviser to the Swedish Embassy can advise United States inquirers about scientific matters in Sweden, and the French National Center for Scientific Research (C.N R.S.) maintains a New York office which supplies information on French science. Offices possessing library or reference files occasionally contribute scientific data from those sources.
