Note: Although we believe the Combined Reference Edition concept described above is a most efficient yet inexpen­ sive system, the Cumulative Index Volumes can also be used effectively with sets of the original Monthly Catalogs, or with other microfilm versions of the series. Libraries having incomplete collections of the Monthly Catalog can, of course, complete their holdings with the purchase of microfilm reels for individual years. Y th Century U.S. Government Publications SUBJECT INDEX TO THE CATALOG OF UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT PUBLICATIONS 1900-1971 Subject Access has long been the missing key to the wider research use of U .S . Govern­ ment publications. Now, fo r the f ir s t time, librarians and scholars can unlock the massive reference potential of the more than one million congressional and departmental publications listed in 72 years of the Monthly Catalog and its supplements. The unique new CUMULATIVE SUBJECT INDEX will eliminate 34 search steps which were formerly necessary to trace subjects through these indexes to 20th Century U.S. Government publications: —21 Biennial Document Catalogs (1900-1940), — 2 Decennial Indexes (1941-60), and — 11 Annual Indexes (1961-1971). All subject entries in the fourteen volume cumulative index were accumulated from 81 separate sources in the Monthly Catalog series and merged into one reference set. These sources include: 48 Annual Indexes to the Monthly Catalog, 2 Decennial Indexes, (1941-1950; 1951-1960), 1 Six-month Index, and 30 Monthly Catalogs for which no annual indexes were made. Delivery: The complete microfilm segment and Index Volume I will be ready for shipment in March 1973, with the remaining volumes scheduled to follow at decreasing intervals until the projected completion date of Oct. 31, 1973. Meanwhile, all Monthly Catalog indexes and the 2 Decennial Indexes on microfilm are included in the microfilm segment for temporary use.
