ONE OF THE YEAR'S MOST IMPORTANT NEW REFERENCE WORKS

Library of Congress and

National Union Catalog Author Lists, 1942-1962: A Master Cumulation

152 VOLUMES

OVER TWO MILLION ENTRIES

$2888.00

Each Volume Billed on Delivery $19.00

FOR DETAILED BROCHURE AND ORDER FORM

With the announcement of its plans to begin immediate publication of a 152-volume, one-alphabet cumulation of the four important supplements to A Catalog of Books Represented by Library of Congress Printed Cards, Gale has launched one of the major publishing events of 1969.

Gale's LC–NUC Author Lists, 1942-62, includes the entries in the following four supplements—

Catalog of Books Represented by Library of Congress Printed Cards-Supplement [1942-1947]

The Library of Congress Author Catalog, 1948-1952

The National Union Catalog: A Cumulative Author List, 1953-1957

The National Union Catalog: A Cumulative Author List, 1958-1952

Thus, the master cumulation is a one-stop source for quick, easy reference to bibliographical and cataloging data covering books, maps, atlases, periodicals, and other serials cataloged by the Library of Congress during the twenty-one years, 1942-1962. and by other North American libraries. 1956-62.

The format and type size of the entries now in the supplements will be retained in the cumulation, assuring the smooth continuation of any Polaroid or other photographic cataloging system now in use. Highquality printing and binding, plus the use of permanent/durable paper, will insure that the set withstands years of constant use.

Of course, a much larger and more inclusive cumulation, titled National Union Catalog Pre-1956 imprints (and often called just "Mansell," after the publisher) is in early stages of publication, with completion expected in 1979. and libraries unable to afford both cumulations should give serious consideration to Mansell. Subscribers to the Gale cumulation will have in the meantime, however, not only the advantage of the immediate availability of this twenty-one-year bibliographical record but also the corollary gain of an immediate saving in the time and labor now being expended by catalogers, bibliographers, acquisitions personnel, scholars, and all other users of the present four separate LC–NUC author lists. In fact, the Gale cumulation should increase the productivity of library personnel and other researchers to a degree that its cost will be recovered many times before completion of Pre-1956 Imprints by Mansell in 1979.

Twelve or more volumes of the cumulation are scheduled for publication each month, with the entire 152-volume set scheduled for completion by the end of 1969. Production on the initial volumes is now well under way. Total cost of the set is $2888.00 or a cost per volume of $19.00.
