An Important Announcement To College and Research Librarians

Library administrators have long recognized the need for a supplementary service to the accession list for books—one that covers current periodicals. The volume of periodical articles makes "do-it-yourself" lists impractical for the individual library. Now, this obstacle has been overcome with the introduction of Current Contents services by Eugene Garfield Associates.

In every edition of Current Contents the current tables of con-tents of hundreds of scientific, technical and business journals are accurately reproduced by modern photo offset methods. These highly legible reproductions are bound together in a convenient pocket-sized format for individual use.

The Current Contents "cooperative" plan is well illustrated by our management edition which features the tables of contents of more than 120 periodicals in twenty-one specific areas of business and management—from automation to operations research, from administration to industrial engineering. Current Contents (man-agement edition) enables library users to keep abreast of rapidly changing developments in management science. Of great impor-tance is the proven fact that Current Contents increases the selective use of the periodical collection by faculty and student body. It also increases library use by college administrators and librarians.

Columbia, Dartmouth, Harvard, Pennsylvania, Western Reserve, Wisconsin, Yale and many others have found Current Contents services to be valuable supplements to existing library services. Write for free sample copies of Current Contents and information on how it can help you improve your library services—and at surprisingly low cost. Special discounts are offered to educational institutions.

NOTE: Current Contents also appears in a weekly pharmaco-medical edition covering 350 chemical, biological and medical periodicals. Ask about our "custom" services covering such fields as electronics, chemistry, and psychology.
