Excerpt from International Catalogue of Scientific Literature: J; Geography, Mathematical and Physical

It. Was unanimously resolved that it was desirable to compile and publish, by means of an international organisation, a complete Catalogue of Scientific Literature, arranged according both to subject matter and to authors' names, in which regard should be had, in the first instance, to the requirements of scientific investigators, so that these might find out, with a minimum of trouble, what had been published on any particular subject of enquiry.

It was agreed that the material should, as far as possible, be collected in the various countries by local organisations established for the purpose, and that the final editing and publication of the Catalogue should be entrusted to a Central International Bureau, acting under the direction of an International Council. It was agreed to establish the Central Bureau in London.
