Thousands of subjects are covered in the more than 10,000 books, booklets, exhibit catalogs, films, and other media which are available for sale or distribution by the 732 museums, galleries, art institutes, ana similar institutions included in Museum Media.

The key to the institutionally-arranged volume is an exhaustive 492-column Title and Keyword Index. This index lists not only the titles of the materials but also makes it possible to find materials according to the artists, works, media, periods, concepts, subjects, movements, and countries mentioned in their titles. Thus, the index provides direct references to authoritative, often unique materials dealing with innumerable specialized topics.

Because its keyword index makes possible a direct subject approach, Museum Media serves as both a reference source and acquisition aid for librarians, students, museum and gallery personnel, researchers, and others interested in using the previously hard to locate materials currently available from museums and other primary sources.

SCIENCE CITATION INDEX®…

the reference that sheds a whole new light on literature searching…

belongs in every scientific library

Science Citation Index — the uniquely effective search tool that organizes the world’s current scientific journal literature by the authors’ own reference citations — retrieves more pertinent articles on almost any given subject, faster, than any other reference of any kind.

It’s the one multi-disciplinary retrospective search tool that serves alldepartments because it covers all scientific subjects with unmatched authority. It's the one reference that finds material that gets lost in the limitations of conventional, subject- oriented literature indexing systems.

SCI®makes use of an indexing system that follows scientists’ own traditional method of literature searching —that of locating articles related to their subject interests by

examining reference citations of articles known to be relevant.

The technique is called “citation indexing”. And the SCIis the only comprehensive index to the journal literature that offers it.

The Science Citation Indexis the

one standard literature-search reference that no library serving the scientific community can afford to be without. If your library doesn’t yet have this most useful of all literature retrieval tools … used by libraries large and small… bring your search capabilities up to date now. And plan extra sets for branch and departmental libraries where they can do the most good for your entire organization. (Special matching grants are available to smaller departmental and branch libraries to make it economical to obtain multiple sets of SCI.)

for your library, send for our new brochure.

A NOTE ON THE HISTORY OF BRI

BRI was first inaugurated in 1965 as a periodical and continued through 1967. Clothbound cumulations were published after each year’s December issue.

In 1968, the periodical was suspended, due to mechanical difficulties and inadequate customer support. A clothbound cumulation was published for 1968, but no further issues or bound volumes appeared until 1972.

The suspension caused a flurry of queries from libraries who recognized BRI as a “basic reference tool” (to quote from CHOICE). As time passed, the demand for BRI increased.

In 1972, Gale resumed publication of periodical issues. At the same time work commenced on retrospective indexing to fill in for the missing years.

The 1972 cumulation is in print. The 1973 cumulation

is scheduled for early publication. Bound volumes for 1969, 1970, and 1971 are being worked on.

Announcing the first volume of

First Printings of American Authors

December publication planned for beginning of

four-volume guide to first editions of 1,000 U. S. authors

• Modern scholarship and contemporary resources used to compile definitive record far exceeding scope of Merle Johnson's American First Editions and similar works

• Bruccoli and Clark are General Editors, assisted by fifty specialists and large advisory board

• New series will be handsomely typeset and bound, with portraits of each author, numerous facsimile pages, and other illustrations

First Printings of American Authors,recording the first book appearances of the works of over 1,000 important authors from Colonial times to the present, has been announced by the Gale Research Company, Detroit.

More than 150 of the expected 250 bibliographies in the first volume have already been completed, and publication is tentatively being planned for December, 1974. Succeeding volumes will appear six to nine months apart.

First Printingsincludes both early and modern authors not in Merle Johnson's American First Editions as well as greatly enlarged and updated listings for those Johnson mentioned. A unique feature will be the inclusion of English firsts.

Coverage in the first volume ranges from Henry Adams, Auchincloss, and Auden through Thoreau, Vonnegut, and Whitman. Subsequent volumes will have equally broad coverage. A cumulative index will appear in successive volumes. Editors of First Printings are Matthew J. Bruccoli, professor of English, University of South Carolina, and C. E. Frazer Clark, Jr., noted collector. Assisting them are more than fifty widely known bibliographers, collectors, curators, librarians, book dealers, and other book world figures who have special expertise and resources which enable them to prepare authoritative reports on their subjects.

• Illustrations supplement bibliographies

The basic part of each author's listing will be, of course, compact bibliographic descriptions of each of his books as first published in both America and England. Each listing will include a portrait of the author. In addition, facsimile title and text pages, photographs of bindings, etc., will be used where appropriate to highlight unusual features of a book or to illustrate a particularly important work. The set is being carefully designed in a handsome format, x 11 inches in size, and will be composed, printed, and bound in the best traditions of bookmaking.

• 10% Prepublication Saving Offered

The price of First Printings of American Authors is $140.00 for the four volumes.

A special prepublication discount of $14.00 will be allowed, however, reducing the price to $126.00.
