THE ESSAYSare arranged under six main headings: introduction to the study of administration, understanding organizational behavior, the search for rationality; management of resources; the struggle for existence; and key issues. Each section is preceded by a statement which introduces the general theme. Individual selections are prefaced by brief comments on the issues treated in the article.

Why should a software consultant be attending seminars on ISI Tapes?

The Institute for Scientific Information, the firm that pioneered the commercial development of systems for the selective dissemination of information with its ASCA® systems, also leases ISI Magnetic Tapes. These tapes provide the only multidisciplinary data base in the world which provides access not only through word-search, but also through a unique method of citation indexing.

If yours is a software firm, you may have a client who can use ISI Magnetic Tapes for in-house SDI and retrieval services. There are numerous successful ISI tape-based systems operating now in the United States, Canada and Europe. Your customer's could be the next.

But every computer man knows that it takes more than a computer and a debugged program to get a system operating on his specific computer. And our existing and future clients know this because we tell them so. Each customer starts out with SDI in mind, and the software men at each installation make changes tailored to the individual client’s needs. While ISI provides the data base and basic utility program, you provide the rest, according to your range of services.

If you would like to work with a data supplier that understands your problems and those of your clients, then ISI is the place to seek out for a lecture-seminar that will tell you not only how to get more out of SDI personally, but also how your customers can get more out of you.

For further information call or write Mr. Randall R. Graham, Marketing Coordinator, ISI, 325 Chestnut St., Philadelphia, Pa. 19106, Telephone [215] 923-3300.

Despite the availability of vast quantities of slides, filmstrips, and illustrated books, schools, libraries and others who need visual materials have often lacked a quick and convenient source for portraits of the men and women who have influenced national and international events, cultures, movements, discoveries, and artistic achievements throughout the centuries.

Once again Gale has seen a reference gap and filled it.

The INTERNATIONAL PORTRAIT GALLERY contains over 750 portraits representing personalities selected for their historical importance or contemporary influence. Thousands of photographs, etchings, engravings, and paintings were made. Many of the portraits were obtained from relatives and descendants of famous people. A treasured photograph of Sigmund Freud was loaned by his nephew. William Saroyan, anxious to have the present glory of his sweeping mustache represented, graciously sat for a special portrait to replace an earlier photo the researchers proposed using.

The faithful black and white reproductions include portraits of noted authors, artists, architects, explorers, scientists, musicians, playwrights, actors, world leaders, diplomats, generals, philosophers, and humanitarians. Each is printed on creamy white antique cover stock, size 8-1/2 x II, with captions which include name, vocation, nationality, and dates of birth and death. All are suitable for display, circulation, or reproduction in publications, by slide projection, and on educational television.

The collection comes with fifty alphabeticallytabbed file folders for easy storage. In addition, a Master Index is included which contains five helpful lists of INTERNATIONAL PORTRAIT GALLERY subjects: (I) by name; (2) by country or nationality; (3) by major field of activity (literature, music, philosophy, science, medicine, military, etc.); (4) by year of birth; and (5) by date of birth. Each index facilitates quick access to portraits that fill a specific reference need; the year and date indexes provide a record of birthdays and anniversaries around which activities can be planned to honor a notable person or observe an historic event.
