The Evaluation of Information Policy: A Case Study Using the SATCOM Report

This study was undertaken in order to ascertain valid ways of evaluating information policy. It has taken a modest step toward this goal by developing a method for evaluating the SATCOM Report (1969). The study had three purposes: First it was to examine closely and identify clearly with the aid of content analysis, important characteristics of each of the Report's recommendations. Second, by surveying experts in the field of information science, it was to judge the validity and potential reliability of the author's content analyses and their potential relevance to the analysis of other information policies. Third, it was to gain some knowledge of the application of information science to the evaluation of information policy.
