RAPID ANNOUNCEMENT OF THE CONTENTS OF SCIENTIFIC JOURNALS.

The article reports that one of the aggravating conditions confronting researchers and librarians today is found in the field of scientific journals. These periodicals, particularly foreign titles, are usually received by only a few of the larger or more specialized libraries in the country. Most of the journals of scientific and learned bodies, technical magazines and other periodical issuances directed to a specialized technical audience possess well-defined tables of contents on one page. This table of contents is frequently part of the title page or cover, and may include useful data concerning the issuing body and its officers.
