Wilfrid Lancaster has earned a reputation for greatness in the evaluation of information storage and retrieval systems. Many of his extensive contributions stem from his early experience with the National Library of Medicine (NLM) MEDLARS system. His evaluation of the MEDLARS Demand Search Service in 1966 and 1967 was an important landmark as one of the earliest evaluations of a computer-based retrieval system and as the first application of recall and precision measures in a large, operational database setting.

Information storage and retrieval systems that use optical scanner and CD-ROM technology should meet the requirements of the law of evidence if controls and procedures are developed for the proper storage and reproduction of information. Case law authority exists for the use of microfilm and photocopies in court, but the law is silent on documents that have been stored via optical scanners and retrieved from related computer storage.
