Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Bulletin of the Public Affairs Information Service: A Cooperative Clearing House of Public Affairs Information; Sixth Annual Cumulation Public Affairs Information Service offers its sixth annual cumulation with a feeling that some real progress has been made during the past year. The removal of the Editorial Office from The H. W. Wilson Company to the Economics Division of the New York Public Library has opened up many possibilities of extending the field of the Service, most of which have been impossible of accomplishment during the first year. The opportunities offered by this contact with a large reference library were not overestimated by the Committee in setting forth the advantages of the plan. Through the courtesy of the Library, incoming books, pamphlets and documents are examined each day so that everything which falls within the scope of the P. A. I. S. is immediately available. There are also available for regular examination many economic and trade periodicals not elsewhere indexed. This system makes for more prompt service and also affords opportunity for more discriminating selection than was possible when time and money were consumed in acquiring the material. Less obvious, but no less substantial, benefits of the library contact are the availability of reference books and catalogs, the close association with actual users of the Bulletin, and the almost unlimited opportunities for keeping informed of new topics of interest. Some new features introduced during the year may be summarized as follows: (1) The introduction in the Bulletins of certain subheads under countries and under the political subdivisions of the United States, viz: Army, Census, Commerce, Constitution, Diplomatic and Consular Service (U. S. only), Economic conditions, Finance, Foreign Relations, Government and Politics, Maps, Natural Resources, Navy, Social Conditions, Statistics. Material on all other subjects, even though it relates to a particular country or political unit, is grouped under subject as formerly. Thus a book on the railroads of China will be found under Railroads, Foreign, without geographical subdivision. To make more easily available all the material relating to countries, states, etc., references are made from each of these political divisions to all the subjects under which material relating to them is to be found. (2) References to well known indexes which cover in part, particularly for periodical literature, many of the subjects included in the P. A. I. S. In making an exhaustive search for material on a given subject, it has been necessary heretofore for the user of the P. A. I. S. to keep in mind the other indexes which ought to be consulted for additional references. Such indexes have grown so numerous that it has seemed a proper function for the P. A. I. S. to fill the need for an "index to indexes." About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
