APPENDIX Guide to information sources in technology A. Jesse CERN, Geneva, Switzerland ABSTRACT The guide consists of a selected listing of journal titles, books and conferences, all dealing with technological fields of interest in high-energy physics. It is separated into the following categories: X = General, B = Beams and radiation, C = Cryogenics and superconductivity, D = Data processing, E = Electronics, M = Magnets and electricity, P = Photography and optics (including astronomy and sur• veying) , V = Vacuum, W = Workshop techniques and general engineering. Each of these categories is subdivided into: 1) Current awareness sources (periodicals, indexing journals, progress reports, conferences); 2) Retrospective sources (abstracting journals, bibliographies, information services); and 3) General references sources (guides, handbooks and encyclopaedias, dictionaries and glossaries, directories and buyer1 s guides). This guide to information sources is intended for those wishing to familiarize themselves with any of the following technological fields: X General page 186 M Magnets and electricity page 197 B Beams and radiation 190 P Photography and optics C Cryogenics and superconductivity 191 Cincl- ^ronomy and surveying) 199 D Data processing 192 V Vacuum 201 E Electronics 195 W Workshop techniques and general engineering 202 Note that the elements of this partitioning are the same as the categories into which the Technology Notes are grouped (see Vol. 2). As regards user's needs for information in a particular field, it appears that the following type of enquiries arise most frequently: 1) How do I keep myself informed about what is new? 2) How do I make a systematic literature search? 3) How do I find specific information? Consequently, the above categories were subdivided into: 1) Current awareness sources: periodicals, indexing and current awareness journals, progress reports, regular conferences; 2) Retrospective search sources: abstracting journals, bibliographies, information services; 3) General reference sources: guides to the literature, handbooks and encyclopaedias, dic• tionaries and glossaries, directories and buyer's guides. It must be emphasized that this sub-division is not to be considered too literally: For example, the cumulative indexes of periodicals (given in group 1) can be used for retro• spective search purposes; and similarly the abstracting journals (given in group 2) may as will be consulted for current awareness purposes. For more detailed information, some of the specialized "guides to literature" (given in group 3) may be useful. When only the title is given, the reference indicates a periodically appearing document; for books, also the author/editor and publisher/town/year are indicated. - 186 - X GENERAL Current awareness sources Periodicals : - high-energy physics CERN Courier/Courrier CERN - accelerators, IEEE Transactions on Instrumentation and Measurement instrumentation and Instrumentation Technology measurement Instruments and Experimental Techniques (Pribory Tekh.
