For new convenience in using CHOICE &

With the first issue of Volume 5, March 1968, CHOICE began an additional service long requested by subscribers — CHOICE Reviews-on-Cards. If you were not among the service's charter subscribers, you may want to consider it now.

CHOICE Reviews-on-Cards can bring to your acquisitions system a new convenience as versatile as you want to make it. Cards make it easy to separate and distribute reviews simultaneously to other librarians and faculty—no more tearing up copies or waiting forever for circulating copies to return. Cards can save clerical steps in ordering and checking holdings (ample space for notations on both front and back of each card). They are a cataloging aid, and they are easy to locate in your desiderata file. You can probably think of dozens of other uses in your own system.

DESCRIPTION OF CARD REVIEWS

As each regular issue of CHOICE goes to press, all reviews in the issue are reprinted separately on 3x5 cards. Each is identified by subject heading and issue date. Collated in the order followed in the magazine, they are boxed and mailed to you via Fourth Class mail, Special Handling.

DELIVERY OF CARDS

Fourth Class, Special Handling means your box of cards is carried from our post office to yours with regular First Class mail, but delivered according to your local Parcel Rost delivery schedule. You should receive cards at about the same time as your regular issue by Second Class mail.'

SUBSCRIPTION TO REVIEWS-ON-CARDS

Cards are available by yearly subscription at a cost of $80. With current publication of more than 5,500 reviews per year, the cost of the card service is less than 1 cents per review. Cards are available only to regular CHOICE subscribers,

HOW TO ORDER

Subscriptions to Reviews-on-Cards should be ordered from Subscription Department, American Library Association, 50 E. Huron Street, Chicago, Illinois 60611. They are not available through agencies. An order form is provided below for your convenience. New subscriptions are started with the next available issue following receipt of orders.

BALLADS & FOLKSONGS

Each of these titles is a standard reference that deals with ballads and songs. Taken together they provide a wealth of information from which character and origin may be examined, and relationships between analogous ballads and songs of different countries may be studied.

From an historical point of view, ballads and songs are especially valuable as they record the feelings, usages, and modes of life of a particular people at a particular time. Most of these titles were widely acclaimed at the time of their original publication; today, they will have broad appeal to the growing number of persons who have become cognizant of the original, simple, and elemental forms of the traditional ballad and song.
