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 are going up, it could be the only thing in your library keeping it from growing poor.

NEW EDITION OF AID HAS 90% MORE TERMS

AID-3is a strikingly new work that promises to be even more valuable than its heavily consulted predecessors. This reliable reference source contains over 80,000 entries, almost twice as many as the second AID. Since page size has been increased to 8%" x 11” with two columns to the page, nearly four times more terms are scannable on each page. Issues of New Acronyms and Initialisms. supplements to AID-3, are planned for 1971 and 1972; each issue of NAI will add about 12,500 new entries. (Supplements are paperbound; $15.00 each.)

COVERAGE OF SPECIALIZED FIELDS MORE EXTENSIVE

The great advances made recently in such fields as data processing, aerospace technology, and military affairs have prompted the creation of numerous acronyms for new projects and equipment. The Apollo moon flights, for instance, introduced many new terms which were unknown when the second AID was published five years ago. These include BIG— Biological Isolation Garment; LOI—Lunar Orbit Insertion; and SRT—Sample Rock Container. Examples of other fresh material in AíD-3 are the Motion Picture Association ratings (X, GP, etc.); the official Post Office two-letter designations for states; and the abbreviations for hundreds of religious orders.

"PREFABRICATED" TERMS GAIN POPULARITY

If they are to be successful, current projects, movements, and other types of activities must be quickly identified by the public. To achieve this end, eye-catching acronyms are often coined first and then fleshed out with more-or-less appropriate words. AID-3 presents many new examples of this type of acronym. For example, from the fields of ecology and conservation come such terms as GOO—Get Oil Out; YUK—Youth Uncovering l‹rud; and ENACT—Environmental Action. The great sex education debate has given birth to MOMS—Mothers for Moral Stability; SOS— Sanity on Sex; and POSSE—Parents Opposed to Sex and Sensitivity Training.

ENTRIES REFLECT CONTEMPORARY CONCERNS

All of modern man's interests, aims, and problems are represented in the many new entries in AID-3 that refer to social and political groups and developments. For example, the flourishing Women's Liberation Movement has fostered such groups as NOW—National Organization for Women; POWER—Professionals Organized for Women's Equal Rights; and OWL—Older Women's Liberation. Those opposed to the Movement have banded together to form such organizations as THEN—Those Hags Encourage Neuterism; WOW—Women Our Wonders; and MOM—Men Our Masters. These sample entries indicate the timely, essential nature of the vast amount of information contained in AID-3.
