	THE CASE OF PAUL OTLET, PIONEER OF INFORMATION SCIENCE, INTERNATIONALIST, VISIONARY
		In 1895 he co-founded with Henri La Fontaine the International Institute of Bibliography (now known as the International Federation for Information and Documentation) and in 1910, the Union of International Associations (5).
		Based on the promises of the technology, he and La Fontaine formulated plans for, and helped create in the International Institute of Bibliography, a huge database called the Universal Bibliographical Repertory (8).
		And it was Otlet, theorist and visionary, who held their imaginations most in beneficial thrall as they continued to work after his death, just as they had in those last days of his life, among the mouldering, discorded collections of the Mundaneum, themselves gradually overtaken by age, their numbers dwindling.
