Handling Special Materials in Libraries.

Libraries of all kinds need and collect special materials for use by their patrons--government publications, technical reports, maps, proprietary publications, company and trade literature, patents and trademarks, standards, symposia and conference records, and related miscellaneous publications. This collection of papers serves as a guide to the acquisition, processing, and administration of such materials. A subject-indexed bibliography of more detailed readings in 46 categories is appended. (Author/SL)
