SECOND (1968) EDITI0N - DIRECT0RY OF SPECIAL LIBRARIES AND INFORMATION CENTERS

READY NOW!!

Edited by Anthony T. Kruzas, Associate Professor of Library Science, University of Michigan

Three thousand new entries • Three hundred more pages • Four hundred new subjects • Nine new appendixes

Since publication in 1963 of the first edition of the DIRECTORY OF SPECIAL LIBRARIES AND INFORMATION CENTERS, specialized centers for the acquisition and organization of printed materials dealing with specific activities and interests have continued to grow in number and scope. The second edition of DSLIC represents an updated continuation of the standard guide to collections and personnel in U. S. and Canadian special libraries, information centers, documentation centers, and other similar units, sponsored by government agencies, business firms, trade associations, and professional societies, as well as major special collections in university and public libraries.

11,500 U. S. and Canadian Facilities Identified

In this edition, detailed entries for 11,500 special libraries and information centers are arranged alphabetically by name of the supporting organization—the U. S. facilities in one section, the Canadian in another. The individual entries provide more than a dozen facts, including official name, address, and telephone number; name of sponsoring organization or institution; address, name, and title of the person in charge; and the names of other professional personnel.

2,500 Additional Units Given in Eighteen Appendixes

Eighteen appendixes—nine more than in the first edition—contain 2,500 name and address listings, by state, for special information facilities not included in the main part of the volume. These include units such as U. S. Information Agency Libraries, U. S. Regional Libraries for the Blind, National Aeronautics and Space Administration Regional Dissemination Centers, and National Bureau of Standards National Standard Reference Data Centers.

Guide to Information on 2,000 Topics

Collectively, the 13,000 specialized research libraries represent the prime sources of in-depth information concerning more than 2,000 subjects—some as general as electrical engineering and business administration, and many as specialized as the cattle industry, beryllium, and family planning.
