LET US REPLACE YOUR CARD CATALOG WITH AN INEXPENSIVE PAPERBACK.

If-you've wanted to convert to a book catalog but haven't because of economic considerations, we’d like to talk to you about your economics.

It does cost something initially to change over. But the statistics indicate that you get it all back.

Based on 1970 contracts, the average cost per title for all our book catalog customers came to under $1.25.

But for libraries still using card catalogs—even if they actually catalog only 20% of their acquisitions— the cost comes out to something like $2.60 per title. If you have 7,000 new acquisitions a year, for example, you save $9,450. (A book catalog will require periodic cumulations, of course. But even with this expense, most libraries come out ahead.)

Besides saving you money, a book catalog lets you do things you couldn't do with a card catalog at any price. Such as making a virtually limitless number of copies. And sending copies out of the library to interested teachers, students, and other librarians.

For complete facts and figures, write us.

We’re not suggesting that a book catalog will make your library rich. But the way costs arc going up, it could be the only thing in your library keeping it from growing poor.

Attention: Libraries with large collections in given subject areas

Bro-Dart’s Books-Coming-Into-Print Program is designed for you

Books-Coming-Into-Print, a program of Bro-Dart’s Stacey Division, the nation’s leading academic bookseller, simplifies book selection and acquisition for libraries acquiring extensively from given subject areas. And, it vastly reduces the costly, time-consuming task of evaluating thousands of notices and reviews. You receive unique Advance Notice Cards on all books of potential interest and, when published, books are sent on approval.

Books-Coming-Into-Print has been developed to speed and simplify book acquisition in specific disciplines for your library. By using our comprehensive Subject Thesaurus, you profile your library’s requirement; you choose the areas in which you collect in depth, you select the type of book and level of publication which you normally require, you specify the other criteria you use in book selection.

Using this information, we evaluate all new book announcements and notify you of only those that match your profile; regardless of how broad or narrow your areas of special interest or desired academic level. You’ll thus receive an Advance Notice Card prior to publication for each title which falls within your profile.

You’ll be dealing with one source for new books from more than 4,000 publishers. This program applies to all books in the humanities or the sciences, continuations, and monographs by commercial and non-commercial publishers.

ENCYCLOPEDIA OF ASSOCIATIONS

THOUSANDS OF REVISIONS! HUNDREDS OF BRAND-NEW ENTRIES!

For fourteen years the Encyclopedia of Associations has been the busy librarian’s key to primary sources of up-to-date information on every conceivable subject. The new Sixth Edition of this indispensable reference work has been enlarged and completely revised, with changes, corrections, and/or additions in over 90% of the entries, plus over 1100 brand-new entries.

Through their publications, projects, research reports, personal replies to questions, and other services, associations are a unique source of essential, timely information. The Sixth Edition of the Encyclopedia tells you precisely whom to contact for reliable facts on such pertinent subjects as ecology . . . data processing . . . women’s rights . . . atomic research . . . birth control . . . civil rights . . . industrial waste . . . underdeveloped nations … lasers . .. urban problems … geriatrics … cultural exchanges . . . space exploration.

VOLUMEI: NATIONAL ORGANIZATIONS OF THE UNITED STATES

This basic source-of-sources covers nearly 14,000 national, nonprofit membership organizations. Included in the broad coverage are selected non-membership groups; foreign groups of interest in America; U.S. local and regional groups of national interest; and citizen action groups and governmental advisory bodies concerned with specific problems.

Typical entries cover seventeen vital items, including the organization’s name, address, and telephone number (if supplied by organization); its purpose and objectives; name and title of chief executive; number of members; publications; and convention schedules.

Organizations are grouped into nineteen categories according to their principal interests (Business, Hobbies, Social Welfare, etc.). The listing for any organization can be found instantly through the 30,000-item keyword/ alphabetical index, in which organizations are listed both by complete proper name and under the keyword or keywords which best identify their fields of activity.

VOLUME II: GEOGRAPHIC AND EXECUTIVE INDEX

This two-part index provides two additional approaches to organizations and their executives: The GEOGRAPHIC section lists in state and city order the associations which are arranged in Volume I according to subject interest. The geographic index includes executive names. The EXECUTIVE section lists by surname executives mentioned in Volume I, and gives their titles and the names of their organizations. Both indexes include phone numbers (if supplied by organization); the geographic index includes addresses with zips.

VOLUME III: NEW ASSOCIATIONS AND PROJECTS

New associations are of particular interest to researchers because such new groups tend to be concerned with new ideas and new problems on which they are often the only sources of current information. NAP, a quarterly supplement to Volume I, reports promptly on hundreds of such organizations during the period between editions of the basic volume. NAP listings contain all the same details included in entries in Volume I, plus a cumulative index in each issue.
