2. Notes.

Subjects
ASSOCIATIONS, institutions, etc., ABSTRACTS, SCIENCE, SOCIETIES, DOCUMENTATION
Abstract

The Proceedings of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, at the Montreal meeting in August, 1882, are distributed in two paper-covered parts of about 300 pages each. This bulkiness might have been considerably reduced by omitting abstracts as worthless as that on the "Future of the Balloon" which does not contain a single idea. Horace C. Hovey's paper on "Subterranean Map-making" is accompanied by a tolerably accurate plotting of the Wyandot Cave, a still better one of the Luray Cavern, and a partial but trustworthy one of the Mammoth Cave.

4. New APA Abstract Services.

Subjects
ABSTRACTS, PERIODICALS, ASSOCIATIONS, institutions, etc., PSYCHOLOGY, SOCIETIES
Abstract

The section provides information on the new computerized services developed by the American Psychological Association (APA) through the funding of the National Science Foundation in 1972. In addition to its own publication, Psychological Abstract, the APA now offers three search services tailored to the specific one-time needs of the individual scholar or project. These are known respectively as PASAR, PADAT, and PATELL. PASAR stands for Psychological Abstracts Search and Retrieval -- a service that permits a prompt computerized search of the abstracts contained in the printed volumes of Psychological Abstracts. PADAT is Psychological Abstracts Direct Access Terminal which makes the tape file of Psychological Abstracts directly accessible to institutions for a subscription charge of $25 per month and $1.00 per minute of terminal use with a minimum of one hour use per month. This enables the institutional search to query the tape directly in selecting the desired bibliography. PATELL is Psychological Abstracts Tape Edition Lease or Licensing. The tape edition for 1971 leases for $3,000. The APA system abstracts all articles in some 160 journals and searches regularly another 600 publications.
