Re- 332 what S Now 0per • When we first announced the publication of Science Citation Index,® skeptics said that it couldn’t be done— that we could not main­ tain the initial low cost of $1250 per year for SCI.® Contrary to this pessimistic prognosis, !SJ has, in effect, reduced the price of SCI by 20%. When you purchase a five-year run of SCI for 1964-1968, including the quarterlies for 1968, you pay only an average $1000 for each year. The arithmetic is simple: you pay the same price for the 1968 SCI as when it started in 1964— $1250— but you get the 1964 and 1965 editions at half-price, sav­ ing $1250 in all. In other words, you get those five years of SCI for the price of four— a total discount of 20%. And consider this: Although the price in 1968 is the same Did you kno t — $1250— as in 1964, the number of journals cov­ ered by SCI has tripled Available to You — an increase from 700 in 1964 to over 2000 in 1968! Each calendar-year edition of SCI is a completely different and perm anently Average of $100 valuable reference tool. Each quarterly alone is a storehouse of information (and the quarterly issues can also be used in satellite librar­ ies). Each annual is truly a record of the y e a r’s research— the only calendar-year index published. Don’t be misled by false claims— SC/ is the only index for science published based on the concept of citation indexing. ISj in­ vented the SCI. SCI is the only index in which you can trace the path of related scientific ideas through the years and across the arbi­ trary boundaries imposed by conventional classification systems and title indexing.† • The fact that the 1968 SCI will contain over two million citation access points might seem meaningless in itself, were it not indica­ tive of the orderly way in which this large reservoir of interdisciplinary data has been made available to you. Each access point represents an avenue of approach into the current scientific literature— a starting point in a search— that enables you to extract pre­ cisely that information which is most relevant to each of your scientist’s particular needs— time and time again. • A recent article by C. C. Spencer illus­ trates the unique role of SCI in the li­ brary. “ Subject Searching with Science Citation Index: Prepara­ CI is tion of a Drug Bibliogra­ phy Using Chemical A b s tra c ts , In d e x for an Medicus, and Science Citation Index 1961 and 1964” can be found in Am erican Documentation, Vol. 18, No. 2, pages 87-96 (1967). A final word of caution Year? to forward-looking librar­ ians: We all resent th e h ig h c h a rg e s made for reprinted edi­ tions of im portant b ib lio ­ graphical works. So don’t wait until SCI is out of print. We do not have an inexhaustible sup­ ply. Indeed, SCI sales have exceeded our expectations and supplies will be exhausted within the next few years. • Now is the time for you to act. If you are planning a new library, reserve your SCI set now. † We ought to know. We also publish the largest title index in the world.

Searc involving two or more terms are especially easy, as simple as an alphabetical look-up. Terms may even be used to exclude cer­ tain types of information. 4 UNIQUENESS The PSI is a "natural language” indexing system based on the real language of science, the c rent living vocabulary used today by pub­ lishing authors, not indexers. 5 COMPREHENSIVENESS The PSI policy of indexing all articles within a journal, regardless of discipline, preve coverage gaps associated with the selec­ tive subject indexes. 6 JOURNAL SELECTION The PSI selection of important journals in all important fields is based, in part, highly accurate citation analyses of their articles, not a mindless lifting of titles from other lists. 7 MULTIDISCIPLINARY SCOPE The PSI covers over 90 disciplines, categorizing the journals by subject and by country. ing 8 EXTENSIVE COVERAGE The PSI for 1967 covers 300,000 scientific and technological items. 9 SOURCE ID EN TIFIC ATIO N A ll the source items are listed alpha­ betically by author in the accompany Source Index.

In total, it is a gigantic mosaic that reflects the literary and social climates that have motivated children-and adults-through- out the centuries. Each entry provides extensive bibliographic details not only for first printings of books of poetry but also for anthologies, periodi­ cals, annuals and other materials in which poems have appeared that relate to childhood or which have been read to and by children. Librarians, researchers, teachers, and collectors will readily recognize this major new reference as their primary guide to the content of 10,000 books in which first appeared 100,000 poems on thousands of subjects ranging from Aardvark to Glass to Stains Volumes 1 through 4 are composed of numbered entries listed alphabetically by author. For each book cited the title page is recorded in full; publi­ cation date and edition are specified; and volume size and pagination are indicated. Further details of collation, binding, points of issue identification, and the like are included where important. A typical passage from the poetry in each book is provided for quick appraisal of its style and content. The editor's personal comments on many poems, vol­ umes, and poets, based on his intimate knowledge of the individual books, adds an only-source ele­ ment of unusual value to the researcher. The names of as many illustrators as could be iden­ tified through credits or research are cited, and one of the set's most interesting features is the 175 il­ lustrations of both title and text pages that are re­ produced from publications in the collection. These serve to graphically indicate the changing trends in Volume 5 is an exhaustive two-part index to the collection. First, there is a Short Title List and Key arranged by author and numbered to correspond to the base volume. Through this, key books cited by number alone in the index are easily identified with­ out referring to the base volumes. Second, there is a Keyword Index citing more than 100,000 poems under thousands of headings.
