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. 20th Century U.S. Government Publications SUBJECT INDEX TO THE CATALOG OF UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT PUBLICATIONS 1900-1971

“In this ambitious new library tool, cumulative access is brought for the first time to the overwhelming majority of United States Government publications issued during the period 1900-1971. In this, it is an accomplishment unrivaled in size and scope. Documents librarians will find it a new and convenient time-saver and one which should offer them an additional means of providing an expanded and improved Government publications service to their patrons.” From the Foreword by Carper W. Buckley, United States Superintendent of Documents, 1952-1970

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 in­ dexes were made. Delivery: The complete microfilm segment and Index Volumes I (A-Ashworth) and II (Asia-Canacao) are avail­ able for immediate delivery, and the remaining volumes are scheduled to follow at decreasing intervals until the projected completion date of June 30, 1974. Meanwhile, all Monthly Catalog indexes and the 2 Decennial In­ dexes on microfilm are included in the microfilm segment for temporary use.
