An Annotated Guide to Philippine Serials the Cornell University Southeast Asia Program

AN ANNOTATED GUIDE TO PHILIPPINE SERIALS THE CORNELL UNIVERSITY SOUTHEAST ASIA PROGRAM The Southeast Asia Program was organized at Cornell University in _the Department of Far Eastern Studies in 1950. It is a teaching and research program of interdisciplinary studies in the humanities, social sciences, and some natural sciences. It deals with Southeast Asia as a region, and with the individual countries of the area: Brunei, Burma, Indonesia, the Khmer Republic, Laos, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, and Vietnam. The activities of the Program are carried on both at Cornell and in Southeast Asia. They include an undergraduate and graduate curriculum at Cornell which provides instruction by specialists in Southeast Asian cultural history and present-day affairs and offers intensive training in each of the major languages of the area. The Pro9ram sponsors group research projects on Thailand, on Indonesia, on the Philippines, and on linguistic studies of the languages of the area. At the same time, individual staff and students of the Program have done field research in every Southeast Asian country. A list of publications relating to Southeast Asia which may be obtained on prepaid order directly from the Program is given at end end of this volume. Information on Program staff, fellowships, requirements for degrees, and current course offerings will be found in an Announcement of the DepaPtment of Asian Studies, obtainable from the Director, Southeast Asia Program, 120 Uris Hall, Cornell University, Ithaca, New York 14853. ii AN ANNOTATED GUIDE TO PHILIPPINE SERIALS Frank H.

Like "Topsy," these bibliographies grew in size and coverage and in the process steadily encroached upon the chore remaining if a comprehensive bibliography of Philippine serials was to materialize. Happily, this goal was realized when Marianne Hauswedell, a professional librarian, accompanied her husband, Christian, to Cornell where he completed his doctorate in the fields of Government and Southeast Asia Studies. Mrs. Hauswedell extended the coverage of the Guide to the range of Philippine serials at Cornell and introduced needed order in the earlier and amateurish efforts of her co-author. The Guide has also benefited from the contribution of Martin F. Hatch, a graduate student in the Southeast Asia Program and some-time member of the University's library staff. Last, but not least, the authors emphasize that the Guide was made possible by the efforts of the many benefactors of Cornell's Southeast Asia Collection--library staff, faculty, students, foundation and government officials and friends--who, over the past quarter century, have contributed to the excellence of this unique resource.

The Lists have been organized to assist the scholar in comprehending the range of available serial publications and the annotations describe the contents of the serials listed and assess their quality and significance. No claim is made that the Lists are comprehensive; they are based upon the Southeast Asia Collection of the Cornell University Library which is a fine working collection, but which has strengths and weaknesses when compared to collections such as that of the Library of Congress or of the University of Michigan. In List A: Non-Governmental Serials, serials with distinctive titles are entered alphabetically by title. In the case of Reports, Bulletins, Cireulars, and so forth, of universities, corporations, associations, and similar issuing bodies, the serial is entered alphabetically under the name of the issuing body. List A is followed by an Index to List A which seeks to anticipate problems which the user of this List may encounter and includes a brief Guide to Index to List A: Non-Governmental Serials which should be consulted before using the Index. Philippine government serials account for all but a minor fraction of the entries in List B: Government Serials, which includes a few serials issued by branches and ·agencies of the United States government, particularly those issued during the period over which the islands were a colony of the United States. List B also includes scattered entries from the period of the Japanese military occupation and isolated entries from other countries. Philippine government serials appearing before 1935, including a few entries from the Spanish colonial period prior to 1899, are listed under Philippine Islands. Those issued between establish ment of the Commonwealth Government in November 1935 and the end of 1941, and during the brief interregnum between the restoration of United States sovereignty over the islands in 1944-1945 and the proclamation of Philippine independence in 1946, are listed under Philippines (Commonwealth). Serials issued during the period of Japanese occupation of the islands appear under Japanese Mili tary Administration, 1942-1943 or, if issued by the puppet Republic proclaimed in October 1943, under Philippines (Republic), 1943-1945. Serial publications issued following establishment of Philippine independence on July 4, 1946 are listed under Philippines (Republic). In the case of serial publications having a continuity bridging more than one period of Philip pine government, for example, the Official Gazette, the entry normally is found under the last period of Philippine government in which the publication was issued. A number of publications listed under Philippines (Republic), therefore, will have been issued under the Philippines (Corrononwealth) and in some cases under the Philippine Islands as well. Serials issued by government departments and subordinate branches within a department are listed alphabetically by department and where appropriate, by bureau within a department. Entries are not alphabetized by subordinate division or section within a bureau, but by the title of the publication. Information regarding the issuing division or section subordinate to the bureau, how ever, will normally be included in the entry. An analogous rule has been followed in the case of serials issued by offices, boards, adminis trations, and commissions outside the department/bureau structure. For example, serials issued by subordinate offices of the National Economic Council are entered alphabetically under the Council rather than under the subordinate office. Similarly, serials issued by the National Institute of Science and Technology, a subordinate branch of the National Science Development Board, are entered alphabetically under the entry National Science Development Board. To minimize the problems arising from the use of this somewhat arbitrary procedure, the Index to List B includes listings for sub ordinate divisions, sections, offices, institutes, and so forth, which direct the user to the page number or numbers of List B where the publications of that subordinate level of government will be found. Finally, the reader is warned that the serial publications issued by government institutions of higher education (University of the Philippines, Mindanao State University, etc.)- are included in List A: Non-Governmental Serials under the title where it is distinctive, or under the university and, where appropriate, subordinate college, school, institute, etc. The Index to List B lists the various government institutions of higher education and directs the user to the page number or numbers where the relevant entry or entries in List A are found. List Bis followed by an Index to List B which seeks to anticipate the problems which the user of this list may encounter. The Index is preceded by a brief Guide to Index to List B: Government Serials which should be consulted by the user frustrated by List Band/or the Index to List B. 1 2 Entries in List A begin with the distinctive title under which the entry is alphabetized, or, where the title is not distinctive, the serial is alphabetized under the name of the issuing body, association, corporation, university, etc. Where titles of serials and/or the name of the issuing body is not in English, a translation set off by parentheses is provided in most cases. Place of publication follows and, for those serials listed by distinctive title, the issuing body or pub lisher/editor. The next line of the entry lists (a) the periodicity (daily, monthly, irregularly, etc.), and where
