UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF AGRICLIITIIRF FOREST PRODUCTS LABORATORY FOREST SERVICE
MADISON 5. WISCONS/N In Cooperation with the University of Wisconsin INSTRUCTIONS FOR OBTAINING PUBLICATIONS
The Forest Products Laboratory is charged with the responsibility for effec- tively disseminating the results of Laboratory research. To do this the Laboratory, in the interest of efficiency and economy, attempts to follow the policy of "the right publication in the right place" rather than a scattergun method. The information below is offered in the hope that it will help inter- ested persons to use Laboratory publications.
Publications available for distribution at this Laboratory are marked with an asterisk (*). The listing of other titles without an asterisk is intended only to indicate reference material that may be consulted in the Library at the Forest Products Laboratory or in other libraries. No obligation is assumed by the Laboratory to furnish microfilms, photostats, or other reproductions of those articles not preceded by an asterisk.
Single copies of technical notes, reprints, and processed reports may be obtained free upon request from the Director, Forest Products Laboratory, Madison 5, Wis.
Federal Government bulletins, circulars, and leaflets, if not available for free distribution at this Laboratory, may be purchased at the price indicated in the publication itself from the Superintendent of Documents, Government Printing Office, Washington 25, D.C. Send money order, draft, or cash (stamps or personal checks are not accepted) with your order. Even in cases where single copies of Federal Government publications (those printed at the Government Printing Office) are available at the Laboratory free, large quantities for wholesale distribution should be ordered from the Superintendent of Documents.
The Forest Products Laboratory reserves the right to furnish only those publi- cations which, in the judgment of the Laboratory staff, will give the information requested. Blanket requests or requests for free copies of a large number of any individual item will not ordinarily be filled, especially in the case of requests from sources outside the United States.

NOTE: Since Forest Products Laboratory publications are so varied in subject matter no single big list is issued. Instead a list is made up for each Laboratory division. Twice a year, December 31 and June 30, a list is made up showing new reports for the previous 6 months. This is the only item sent regularly to the Laboratory's mailing list. Anyone who has asked for and received the proper subject lists and who has had his name placed on the mailing list can keep up to date on Forest Products Laboratory publications. Each subject list carries descriptions of all other subject lists.
