The question was how to give librarians of all kinds full command over the entire range of Congressional publications. The answer is a new information retrieval system called the Congressional Information Service/Index. CIS/Index is a monthly indexing and abstracting service so thorough that it summarizes the testimony of each witness at every hearing-and so well-organized that users can find the precise information they need within minutes. ~--I-ll-ll--l-lll1lIIIIIIIIII...... -..,--II,----l------1-m.

Beryl Anderson is an associate professor in the Graduate School of Library Sci- ence, McGill University, Montreal; she was the editor of the Union List of Seri- als of Montreal and Vicinity, a project of SLA's Montreal Chapter. She is also the compiler of a recent directory of special libraries published by the Canadian Library Association. This article is based on a paper which grew out of that compilation and was delivered at the Second General Session, "Information Resources in Canada," on Jun 4,1969 during SLA's 60th Annual Conference in Montreal.

Go KOHALL d COO70 ~inco~nstreet. or ton, ass. 021 1 1 One of the most ambitious data-gathering efforts of recent years has been the program of the U.S. Joint Publications Research Sew- ice (USJPRS) to provide government agencies with significant and otherwise unavailable material from foreign sources. These sources include scholarly works, research papers and documents, articles from leading newspapers, magazines and journals, economic and industrial reports, conference proceedings, and commercial statistics. The material, selected by both government and private research specialists, covers the full spectrum of the social and physical sciences, political affairs, economics, medicine, international relations, and all aspects of engineering and technology. All of this material is available to non-governmental educational. research and industrial organizations. Its current volume amounts to approximately 1,000 pages of translations per working day- more than one quarter million pages a year. Through RESEARCH AND MICROFILM PUBLICATIONS.
