A t last, one source o f subject access to 20th C U M U L A T IV E M O N T H L Y This new fourteen volume single-alphabet subject index set . . . is offered by itself — for libraries holding complete runs of the Monthly Catalog — or, in a COMBINED REFERENCE EDITION which contains a complete MICROFILM collection of the Monthly Catalog from 1895 through 1971 for convenient reference use with the index volumes. The complete backfile of the Monthly Catalog was micro­ filmed by the Photoduplication Division of the Library of Congress especially for use with our Cumulative Sub­ ject Index. The 53 reel set contains the full text of all 867 indexed issues of the Monthly Catalog and its 3 World War II supplements, plus the two Decennial In­ dexes, and some 60 pre-1900 issues which were not indexed. Monthly Catalog entries contain complete bibliographical data for almost every U.S. Government publication; in­ cluding title, personal author, collation, LC number, Su- Docs classification number, price, ordering information, and a symbol indicating if the publication was sent to depository libraries. All Subject Index entries before September 1947 show year-and-page numbers whereas later entries give year- and-entry numbers. Each two digit year number (’00 through ’71) serves as the reel number in the microfilm collection. Page and entry numbers appear in numerical sequence on the film; and as all entries for any given year of Monthly Catalog are on the same reel, the numerical sequences are never broken and it is never necessary to look on more than one reel for any single year. Because of the lack of standardization in the microfilm industry, we offer our sets with a variety of film options; including a choice between silver halide film or Diazo, roll or cartridge, and 16mm or 35mm film size. Note: Although we believe the Combined Reference Edition concept described above is a most efficient yet inexpen­ sive system, the Cumulative Index Volumes can also be used effectively with sets of the original Monthly Catalogs, or with other microfilm versions of the series. Libraries having incomplete collections of the Monthly Catalog can, of course, complete their holdings with the purchase of microfilm reels for individual years. Century U.S. Government Publications S U B J E C T IN D E X T O T H E C A T A L O G O F U N IT E D S T A T E S G O V E R N M E N T P U B L IC A T IO N S 1900-1971 “In this ambitious new library tool, cumulative access is brought for the first time to the overwhelming majority of United States Government publications issued during the period 1900-1971. “In this, it is an accomplishment unrivaled in size and scope. “Documents librarians will find it a new and convenient time-saver and one which should offer them an additional means of providing an expanded and improved Government publications service to their patrons.” From the Foreword by Carper W. Buckley, United States Superintendent of Documents, 1952-1970 The unique new CUMULATIVE SUBJECT INDEX will eliminate 34 search steps which were formerly necessary to trace subjects through these indexes to 20th Century U.S. Government publications: —21 Biennial Document Catalogs (1900-1940), — 2 Decennial Indexes (1941-60), and — 11 Annual Indexes (1961-1971). All subject entries in the fourteen volume cumulative index were accumulated from 81 separate sources in the Monthly Catalog series and merged into one reference set. These sources include: 48 Annual Indexes to the Monthly Catalog, 2 Decennial Indexes, (1941-1950; 1951-1960), 1 Six-month Index, and 30 Monthly Catalogs for which no annual in­ dexes were made. Delivery: The complete microfilm segment and Index Volumes I (A-Ashworth) and II (Asia-Canacao) are avail­ able for immediate delivery, and the remaining volumes are scheduled to follow at decreasing intervals until the projected completion date of May 31, 1974. Meanwhile, all M onthly Catalog indexes and the 2 Decennial In ­ dexes on microfilm are included in the microfilm segment for temporary use.
