College and Research Libraries By EDNA MAE BROWN Ne-w Periodicals of 1946~Part II T HE ARRIVAL of new periodicals from Europe was a noticeable fact discovered through the examination of new publica- tions received in the Library of Congress during the second six mo'nths of 1946. They came from Paris, ' Berlin, Salerno, Bucharest, and other cities, and the subjects ranged from music to technology. By com- parison, production in the United States seemed to dwindle. Here, medicine headed the list, leading off with four promising new journals. Music and the Theatre ContrepointsJ a monthly review of music, was begun in Paris, and N uestra M usicaJ a bimonthly, appeared in Mexico. Both contain critical· essays on composers, musical forms, and trends in musical development, and neither was limited to subjects of their own nation • exclusively. N uestra M usica is under the supervision of Carlos Chavez, Bias Galindo, and others. Le Magasin du SpectacleJ from Paris, TeatroJ from Rome, Theater der ZeitJ from Berlin, and Theater TodayJ from London, all have the theatre and cinema for their subjects and treat them in rather similar ways. Through articles and photographs, Le Magasin du Spectacle plans to re<;ord and interpret the art of the present-day stage and the ~ork of its actors. Teatro and Theater der Zeit have articles on the theatre in foreign as well as their own countries. Theater Today is interested in the art of acting and the art of writing for the stage and painting and music in the theatre. Its editors seek to establish stand- ards of comparison for the theatre from the study of foreign productions. In our own country, there is FootlightsJ a periodical de- voted to the community and little theatre of America. Art A new American journal devoted to art d~serves mention. c;itiqueJ a Review of Contemporary Art is published monthly, Oc- tober through May, in New York. It is devoted to the criticism of modern art, painting, sculpture, architecture, and mo- tion pictures. Articles by artists, scholars, and critics, book reviews, and calendars of exhibitions make up its content. Classical Antiquities A new journal in the field of classical antiquities appeared in Salerno. A ntiquitas ,· Rivista Trimestrale di Antichita ClassicaJ with Riccardo Avallone as director, has for the subject of the first issue, the linguistics and literature of classical Rome. Literature Nothing especially notable in the field of literature appeared except perhaps Soviet LiteratureJ published in Moscow (also pub- lished in German as Sowjetliteratur). It consists of English translations of Russian writings, articles by prominent Russian writ- ers, critics, and journalists on books and writers, reviews of books published in the Soviet Union, and notes on the Russian theatre. Murphls TavernJ a "little maga- zine" of short stories and poems by new American writers was started in Boston. The undergraduates at Johns HQpkins U ni- versity started LitJ Literary Magazine of Johns Hopkins University. From Graz 138 COLLEGE AND RESEARCH LIBRARIES ' there came a new monthly entitled Austria~ the subtitle of which "die Welt ·in Spiegel 6sterreichs, Zeitschrift fiir Kultur und Geistesleben" explains its scope and possibly a tendency to propagandize. Bibliography The Australasian Book News and Li- brary Journal~ published in Sydney, includes book reviews and critical annotations criti- cal articles on literary subjects, and a 'list of books published in Australia and deposited in the national library in accordance with the copyright law. Insula; Revista Biblio- , grafica de Ciencias y Letras~ from Madrid, also has articles on literary subjects, reviews and notes on Spanish and some foreign books, and lists of new publications with trade information. Mondo Graft co~· Ras- segna Italiano del Libra e della StcfmPa~ from Rome, is a similar publication for new I tali an books. A list which librarians will find extremely useful is Science and Tech- nology; A Record of Literature Recently Added to the Carnegie Library of Pitts- burgh. This is a classified list with decimal da~sification numbers a~d is a reprint of material prepared for the card catalogs of the library. Library Science The librarians of India have begun the publication of the Indian Librarian~ at La- hore, by means of which they "aim at pro- moting library service and librarianship in India by providing counsel, guidance, and leadership in matters pertaining to or affect- ing library development throughout the country." In the first ~ssue such subjects as library literature in future India and books for the young were discussed. Science and Technology A p~blication from Paris entitled A tomes~· to us les A spec.ts Scientifiques a un APRIL~ 1947 . I Nouvel Age~ as the subtitle would indicate, covers a variety of subjects besides atomic . energy. Penicillin, radar, television, rock- ets, etc., are treated in a popular style. Also in a popular style is Weather~ a Monthly Magazine for All Interested in Meteorology~ published in London by authority of the Royal Meteorological Society. This maga- zine "hopes to reach the fellows of the so- ciety who have expressed a desire for com- ments on current events, but also the wider public which nowadays increasingly demands some subject of universal interest as a recrea- tion for the mind. In Britain no subject ful· fils this requirement better than the weather whose vicissitudes are always with us to ' giv~ us food for thought." Two journals more scholarly in style are Geographica H el- veticiJ:; Schweizerische Zeitschrift fur Lander- und V olkerkunde from Zurich and Zeitschrift fur Naturforschung from Wies- baden. Geographica Helvetica~ ·consisting of articles on geographical and ethnographi- cal subjects, is published by the Geogra- phisch-Ethnographische Gesellschaft of Zu- rich. It supersedes that society's Mitteil- ungen and Schweizer Geograph~ published by the Geographische Gesellschaft, Bern, and the Societe de Geographie, Geneva. Zeitscbrift fur N aturforschung aims to pub- lish the results of research being conducted in Germany and elsewhere in the fields of physics, chemistry, and biology. From Paris there is H ouille~ Minerais~ Petrole~ a new bimonthly review on economic geology. Pub- lished in Washington, Air A !fairs~· An In- ternational Quarterly Journal plans "to study the development of aviation in the broadest possible manner so that its poten- tialities can be used to the fullest extent for the advanceme"nt of the human race." Not only the opinions of aeronautical experts but also opinions of academicians and profes-- sional persons not engaged in aviation but who are trained in estimating the effects of new inventions will be sought. Petroleum 139 PrC?cessing of Crude Petroleum and Natural Gas for Fuels, Lubricants, and Petrochemi- cals, published monthly in Cleveland, was formerly issued as the technical section of National Petroleum News. The Press Etudes de Presse, published by the Centre d'Etudes Scientifiques de la Presse in Paris, has for its purpose the scientific study of the press, especially freedom of the press. Ar- ticles on the English and on the Soviet press and on Belgian journalists indicate some- thing of the scope of the journal. Medicine Two new medical journals with similar purpose, namely, to keep practitiOners abreast of the results of research being conducted in medical clinics and labora- tories, have appeared. On the postgraduate level there is The American Journal of Medicine. This is published monthly in New York under the editorship of Alex- ander B. Gutman, assistant professor of medicine in the Columbia University Col- lege of Physicians and Surgeons. The American Practitioner, published by the ]. B. Lippincott Company under the super- vision of an editorial board made up of medical school professors, is intended to keep the physician informed who does not have direct contact with the teaching centers and the research being carried on there. Plastic surgery, which received incentive during the war, is represented by a new bimonthly, Plastic and Reconstructive Sur- gery, published by the American Society of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery. The American Academy of Dental Medicine is publishing the Journal of Dental Medicine to correlate the technical and biologic phases of dentistry which have within the past few years become more closely integrated. Minorities As usual, there appeared a number of new periodicals devoted to improving the status of small groups of people. The Croatians, Hungarians, and Rumanians began such publications. 'The American Croatian Historical Review, published in Youngstown, Ohio, wants "to call to the attention of the American people the noble deeds of our early Croatian and Slav mis- sionaries who labored on this continent long before the U.S. was organized and founded" and "to show what contributions Croatians and Slav peoples have made toward the progress of America." Ne'w Hungary, a Fortnightly Revi~w of South-Eastern Eu- rope, published in Budapest, is the English edition of Uj Magyarorszag, which appears weekly in Hunga~ian. The editors intend to give the world-at-large a true account of political, social, and economic events in Hungary. The Rumanian Review, pub- lished in. Bucharest, plans to do the same for the political, economic, social, literary, artistic, and scientific life of Rumania. The Italian Post, published in Rome, "hopes to become a link between democratic Italy and all English-speaking nations." It purports to inform the world what Italy thinks about current affairs and of its difficulties and successes on the road to reconstruction. Political Science Clarence Streit has begun the editing in Washington of Freedom & Union/ Journal of the World Republic. This publication aims to inforl)l concisely on important facts and trends in the field of world problems and world government. It will report diverging and conflicting views by discussion and digest, give the views of its own staff, and thus try to bring the world nearer to the reader. Articles in the first issues are signed, some are illustrated. Plain Talk, 140 COLLEGE AND RESEARCH LIBRARIES --'- a publication from New York, seems to have for its purpose the fight against Com- munism, Fascism, and Totalitarianism. It will "provide information nowhere else available, gathered by experts, as ammuni- tion in the fight against. every form of mod- ern tyranny." Tax OutlookJ· 'Toward Better Government Through Citizen Un- derstanding is fighting for a balanced bud- get and against high taxes. United Nations NewsJ· The Journal of the United Nations AssociationJ published in London, presents the British point of view on the United Nations and world affairs. Recreation In the field of recreational literature several new publications were received which are designed to interest sportsmen, persons planning trips and vacations, col- lectors of stamps, antiques, prints, etc. Of these, Basketball M agaiine and Travel & CameraJ for basketball and .travel enthusi- asts, are noteworthy.
