tures of the directory is the indication of 
availability of the material listed. When the 
library which contains the material needed 
has been located through the subject index, 
it is possible in most instances to determine 
immediately whether or not the material 
is available through interlibrary loan, dupli· 
cation, or personal consultation. 

The directory is a storehouse of informa-
tion on a vast amount of research material 
not generally listed in the standard bibli-
ographies. It will be interesting to note its 
effect on bringing the researcher and the 
material together.-Clara Ma e Broll!nJ ]oint
