New Periodicals of 1961-Part II
By G E R A L D I N E KAUFMAN M A U R E R
OF T H E P E R I O D I C A L S beginning publication in 1961, which have been received at the
Library of Congress, those listed below were
selected in the hope that they might prove
helpful or of interest to acquisitions librar-
ians. T h e topics can be approached from the
point of view of reference, instructional aids,
practical help for patrons, or recreation.
A B S T R A C T S , B I B L I O G R A P H Y . T h e Australian
National Bibliography, issued by the Na-
tional L i b r a r y of Australia, supersedes Books
Published in Australia. T h e listings will be
those acquired by the N a t i o n a l Library, by
copyright or otherwise; those published in
Australia or, if published abroad, those deal-
ing with an Australian subject or by Aus-
tralians. T h e bibliography will contain also
the official monographs listed in Australian
Government Publications. T h e r e will be an
annual cumulation under the same title.
Fichero Bibliografico Hispanoamericano is a
list chiefly of current books, arranged by the
Dewey scheme; each entry is completely cata-
loged, including notes; one additional item
not seen on most catalog cards is the price.
T h i s preliminary issue contains works from
12 countries; it includes translations i n t o
Spanish. T h e International Guide to Classi-
cal Studies and International Guide to
Medieval Studies are in several sections and
parts: Current Articles and M i n o r Contribu-
tions; S u b j e c t - I n d e x ; Review-Index; I n d e x
of Authors, Editors, T r a n s l a t o r s ; I n d e x of
Reviewers. T h e journals indexed are those
published during the current year; annuals,
commemorative issues, conference reports,
etc., are not indexed. List of Periodicals in
the Field of Nuclear Energy will give infor-
mation on periodicals so that an intelligent
selection can be made by those interested; it
is not intended to be comprehensive. Mem-
ber states of the I n t e r n a t i o n a l Atomic Energy
Agency are cooperating in this project. New
American Periodicals will cover, substantially,
what this feature in C R L tries to do, differ-
Alrs. Maurer is Head of the Serials Section,

ing in at least two m a j o r respects: it is limited
as indicated by title; it will give advance in-
formation on projected periodicals (this
column is limited to receipts in the Library
of Congress, and is more or less selective).
Pakistan Scientific Literature: Current Bib-
liography is arranged, in the main, alpha-
betically by j o u r n a l title, and under j o u r n a l ,
by authors as they appear in contents. T h e
authors are numbered consecutively and
these numbers are used in the alphabetically-
arranged author and subject index. T h e first
issue covers, chiefly, 1960 publications, the
second issue will list 1961 publications plus
any 1960 omissions. An answer to the enthu-
siasm evoked by a national survey, The
Periodical Monitor and Abstract Service;
Electronics and Instrumentation Section, will
enable scientists and engineers quickly to
determine which articles to read, which to
eliminate, which merely to scan, in their cur-
rent literature. T h e abstracts are numbered
consecutively (an aid in the subject and au-
thor indexes) under the periodical titles
which are alphabetical. T h e r e is a listing of
new books by subject; of meetings by date;
of periodicals monitored (but not necessarily
abstracted). T h e charm of the illustrations
should be m e n t i o n e d — m a n y librarians will
wonder why the second issue omits the "pic-
ture of the l i b r a r i a n . " T h e J a n u a r y issue of
British Medical Abstracts contains abstracts
from Annals of the Rheumatic Diseases,
British Medical Journal, The Lancet, The
Practitioner, and Proceedings of the Royal
Society of Medicine.
B U S I N E S S . The Chart Book, covering over
eight hundred items on the American Stock
Exchange, contains charts for each stock,
arranged alphabetically. According to the
1 4 6 C O L L E G E A N D R E S E A R C H L I B R A R I E S
chart e x p l a n a t i o n , a great deal of informa-
tion can be extracted from the individual
charts, e.g.: weekly high, low, and closing;
earnings per share, fiscal year end, type of
business; weekly volume; date of latest re-
port; current assets, liabilities, and funded
debt by millions of dollars; n u m b e r of com-
mon and preferred shares by thousands. T h e
Annals of the Hitotsubashi Academy are be-
ing published in five specialized journals, the
Hitotsubashi Journal of Commerce and Man-
agement being one of the group. T h e arti-
cles in the first issue by faculty members are
on interest, accounting, budget in decentral-
ized management, etc. Because sportswear
has become a booming business demanding
its own publication for retailers, M c C a l l
Corporation has begun Sportswear Mer-
chandiser to explain sportswear merchandis-
ing techniques and to give advance market
news for the small specialty shop, and up to
the large department store. T h e articles in
the first issue of Studi e Ricerche are studies
on sampling, sampling on population, on
banking, on agriculture in F i n l a n d , on the
I t a l i a n paper market. T h e latter part of the
issue is devoted to news notes on business in
various countries ("Esperienze Segnalate,"
" I n f o r m a z i o n i sul S e t t o r e " ) and reviews of
publications. The Shipper-Motor Carrier
Executive will tackle problems of motor
carrier transportation. T h e J u n e issue is de-
voted largely to freight loss, damage, and
liability, with two articles on concealed dam-
age. I t also contains items on new products
and highlights of conferences of the N a t i o n a l
Association of S h i p p e r - M o t o r Carriers. I t
will be the business of T ir DM; Transpor-
tation & Distribution Management to nar-
row the costly gap between technology of
design and manufacture, and technology of
distribution; it will concern itself with pro-
curement of raw materials, down to putting
the finished product in the customer's hand.
Special features are an annotated book list
and " T r a n s p o r t Legislation in Congress" in
tabular form. T h e American Society of T r a f -
fic and T r a n s p o r t a t i o n (membership to which

the U . S. merchant marine dilemma, pro-
posed changes in transport regulation; signed
book reviews are included. I n o u r modern
technological society, economic and politi-
cal changes have created new problems in
industrial relations; hoping to make real
contribution to these critical fields, the In-
stitute of Industrial Relations, University of
California, has started Industrial Relations.
Contributions in the first issue, by econo-
mists, are directed to the theme " T h e Em-
ployer Challenge and the U n i o n R e s p o n s e . "
T h e n e x t topic will be " W o r k and Leisure

topic is " I n d u s t r i a l R e l a t i o n s and W o r l d
T r a d e , " with contributors from l a b o r and
industry. W i t h E r i k Bergaust as editor-in-
chief, and with eleven o t h e r international,
experienced journalists especially interested
in the North A t l a n t i c T r e a t y Organization,
NATO Journal comes into being. Items of
interest to decision makers, management,
and businessmen will be included: trends
in industry, new developments in science
and technology, contract announcements,
i n t e r - N A T O military news, etc. As an out-
growth of requests, the B u r e a u of Industrial
Relations, University of Michigan, will pub-
lish in Management of Personnel Quarterly
original articles prepared by Michigan fac-
ulty or by p r o m i n e n t business leaders for
University of Michigan audiences. T h e initial

ership, on discipline, on responses to one's
orders, on arbitration, and book reviews.
C O U N T R I E S . Africa Quarterly, from the In-

the welfare of E t h i o p i a and the E t h i o p i a n
community and the African c o n t i n e n t , as
well as to focus i n t e r n a t i o n a l attention on
E t h i o p i a . Contributors to the first issue are
i n t e r n a t i o n a l in scope; the contributions
are chiefly about E t h i o p i a : its independence,
national libraries, orthopedic surgery in
Addis Ababa, early travelers, coffee, the Uni-
versity College. Signed book reviews are in-
cluded. T h e staff of The Journal of British
Studies conceives " B r i t i s h " in the widest
possible sense, "studies" as relating to all
knowledge pertaining to or drawing upon
history; it sets as limits "analysis, synthesis,
interpretation and exploratory exegesis."
Contributors will be chiefly from the U n i t e d
States, b u t n o n e will be barred. T h e first
issue contains articles on K i n g J o h n Lack-
land, T h o m a s More, J o h n M i l t o n , the T r e a t y

lishing a socialist society in India. T h e first
issue contains articles on Kashmir, China's
border diplomacy, J a l l i a n w a l a Bagh Day,
P a n t j e , and foreign aid. Most previous pub-
lications on Korea in English were done by
foreigners trying to depict or interpret Korea
to o t h e r foreigners; now, as Korea increas-
ingly plays a part in world politics, it has
seemed best for the natives of that country
themselves to portray it. T h e first issue of
Korea Journal, illustrated, contains articles
on Korean politics, democracy, and eco-
nomics, General Park, art, education, and
book reviews.
C U R R E N T E V E N T S . A new news magazine is

ism, to strengthen its good features, to bring
to light its weaknesses. All methods of relay-
ing news to the public will be under scrutiny.
LAW. Although the Natural Resources
Journal will not be limited to resources
problems, it will nevertheless be largely de-
voted to this vital area. A general section
contains articles on peaceful purposes of nu-
clear explosions, oil and gas leases, water in
California, resources management, etc.; an-
other section contains articles on laws in
New Mexia>—criminal code, a n n u l m e n t of

communication for G h a n a i a n writers, and
the first issue contains poetry, prose, drama,
and illustrations. I t is in English; one article
contains folk songs in G h a n a i a n languages,
with a discussion and English translation.
T h e r e are book reviews. T h e publication of

reviews and indexes of p e r t i n e n t periodicals,
both German and Russian, arranged by
broad subjects. T h e History of Religions will
be "devoted to the study of historical reli-
gious phenomena. O n e of its primary aims
is the integration of the results of the several
disciplines of the science of religion; its
articles will have a synthetical character in
order to acquaint the reader with the prog-
ress being made in the general area of the
history of religions (Religionswissenschaft)."
Biographical notes on the contributors are
included. T h e Society for the Scientific Study
of R e l i g i o n intends the Journal for the
Scientific Study of Religion to serve as a
forum for those who study religious attitudes
and activities. T h e O c t o b e r issue has papers

and creative thinking; notices about meet-
ings, exhibitions, etc.; about articles in other
periodicals; and book reviews. The Journal
of Humanistic Psychology will publish arti-
cles "of theoretical and applied research,
original contributions, papers, articles and
studies in values, autonomy, being, self, love,
creativity, identity, growth, psychological
health, organism, self-actualization, basic
need-gratification and related concepts."
MUSIC. Bravo, Magazine of the Lively Arts
will be a serious, lighthearted, enthusiastic
magazine about music, about those who
make it, about those for whom it is made.
The first issue contains articles on the Pierre
Salingers, new pianists, Virgil Thomson,
American singers in Europe, caricatures by
Mrs. Koussevitsky, etc. The Hungarian Acad-
emy of Sciences (Magyar Tudomanyos Aka-
demia) is beginning Studia Musicologica,
which will contain articles on Hungarian

collections of manuscripts of foreign com-
posers, and general notes concerning con-
gresses and meetings. Articles may be in

language. This initial issue has articles on
Mozart, on J . G. Albrechtsberger, Ferenc
Erkel, and on music in Hungary in the Mid-
dle Ages.
PRINTING. Graphic Technology aims "at
dealing with the developments in all meth-
ods of printing illustration, the materials
and apparatus used, the best ways of using
them, and why. Our interest will cover not
only photographic and chemical materials,
but also paper and ink in their technical
and functional aspects."
RECREATION. The newly formed American
Boxwood Society is issuing The Boxwood
Bulletin to share problems and exchange
experiences of growing buxus. Marina Man-
agement will devote itself to waterfront
facilities with the accompanying merchandis-
ing problems, believing that the growth of
marinas will resemble that of motels. It con-
tains notes on new products—food, drink,
boat equipment and accessories. "Show will
be the definitive magazine of the performing
arts, and our view of those arts will be
broad." Exploration will be devoted to in-
quiries into new areas, and new inquiries
into old areas; it will attempt to spread
knowledge of man to man in an interesting
way. "Great Religions," "Cities of the East,"
signed book reviews and a profile page are
to be regular features. In addition to these,
the first issue has illustrated articles on Maori
carving, Albania, the Dinkas, on Vinoba
Bhave, geology, Lapland, etc.
SOCIAL SCIENCES. T h e Bole tin Uruguay o de
Sociologia will air the current sociological
problems of the day, but especially those of
Latin America and Uruguay. The first issue
is in sections (Uruguay, Latinoam^rica, In-
ternational, Bibliograffa) which are divided
(save the last section) into Informaci6n,
Doctrina. The Informaci6n has news items
about meetings, congresses, institutions. The
Doctrina contains articles from scholars on
an international basis: Isaac Gan6n, Aldo
Solari, Alfredo Povina, Alfonso Trujillo Fer-
rari, Pitirim A. Sorokin. As a continuation
of Ciencias Sociales, published 1950-56, the
Department of Social Affairs of Pan Ameri-
can Union has begun Revista Interamericana
de Ciencias Sociales. It will disclose trends in
social disciplines, particularly those which
apply to Latin America. The first issue has,
among others, an extensive contribution,
"Los Lenguajes Indigenas de America Lat-
ina"; signed book reviews are included. The
second issue is devoted to the theme "La
Agricultura y el Desarrollo de la Civilizaci6n
en Mesoam^rica."
SCIENCE. A new journal, The Australian
Scientist, from New South Wales brings news
of scientific development in Australia; it
hopes to stimulate interest in that field
among Australians. Because enzymology has
emerged as a fundamental science, and a
strong interest in biological enzymology has
developed, scientists have felt the need for
a j o u r n a l and Enzymologia Biologica et
Clinica hopes to fill that need. The articles
in the first issue are: "Anomalie de l'Aldolase
H^patique dans l'lntolerance au Fructose";
"Localization of Dehydrogenases and Glyco-
gen Metabolizing Enzymes in Muscle Tissue
of the Desert Locust"; "Uber Enzyme der
Glykolyse in Leukozyten von Kindern";
"Serum Ornithine Transcarbamylase Activity
in Normal Individuals." Although originally
only of interest to physical scientists, the
1 5 0 C O L L E G E A N D R E S E A R C H L I B R A R I E S
concepts of transmission of information are
now appealing to biological scientists in
studying how organisms handle information;
and in return, physicists are becoming inter-
ested in the procedures by which organisms
cope with communication and control.
Kybernetik will publish both theoretical and
experimental articles in this exchange. T h e
Crop Science Society of America has begun
Crop Science as a vehicle for unpublished
papers on research in field crops including
genetics, cytology, physiology, ecology, and
breeding; articles which formerly might have
appeared in the overburdened Agronomy
Journal. Articles in the first issue are accom-
panied by bibliographies and summaries;
some are illustrated. T h e last page is devoted
to signed book reviews. T h e articles in the
first issue of Radiation Botany are in Eng-
lish, prefaced by summaries in English,
French, and German, and are the reports of
research performed chiefly in the U n i t e d
States and Great B r i t a i n . T h e j o u r n a l will
report, mainly, effects of ionizing radiation
on plants or plant structure. Signed book
reviews are included. I m p o r t a n t and current
technical chemical literature from the Soviet
U n i o n , Eastern Europe, and Asia will be
translated in International Chemical Engi-
neering. A list by country of the journals
received is included. R e p r e s e n t e d also are
items dealing with information retrieval,
"based on the concept-coordination system
of information storage and retrieval." Phyto-
chemistry will publish articles on pure and
applied research in basic metabolic processes
of plants. T h e technical illustrated articles
are preceded by abstracts; they may be in
English, French, or German. Still another
chemical j o u r n a l Zeitschrift filr Chemie, has
been undertaken, this one from the Eastern
Zone of Germany, under the auspices of the
Chemische Gesellschaft in der Deutschen
Demokratischen R e p u b l i k . T h i s publication
contains technical articles, short report arti-
cles, and signed book reviews. Geofisica In-
ternational will contain original articles on
geophysics in Spanish and in one of the fol-
lowing: English, French, German, or Rus-
sian. T h u s , Spanish will be promoted as a
medium of scientific expression, and at the
same time contributions by Spanish scientists
will be circulated. T h e first issue is a lengthy
article, in Spanish and English, "Pene-Con-
temporaneous T e c t o n i c s along the M e x i c a n
Pacific Ocean Coast," by F . Mooser and M .
Maldonado-Koerdell. Nordisk Tidskrift for
Informationsbehandling will contain articles
on numerical analysis, data-processing, and
computer-technical problems in English,
French, o r German, with contributions
chiefly from the five Scandinavian countries.
Articles in a Scandinavian language will have
a summary in English. T h e editor and pub-
lisher of The System Analyzer; a Bulletin for
Those Concerned with Digital Differential
Analyzers and Their Applications, George F .
Forbes, has also written most of the contribu-
tions in the first issue. I n addition to illus-
trated technical articles, there are book re-
views and a bibliography. T h e Applied
Physics Laboratory, J o h n s H o p k i n s Univer-
sity, "requires a synthesizing agent to pre-
serve the over-all pattern of its activities, not
only for the benefit of its own staff, b u t also
for the benefit of scientific and engineering
colleagues throughout the world." T h e agent
is the APL Technical Digest. T h e initial issue
of Beitrage aus der Plasmaphysik contains
four original technical articles by work-
ers in German research institutes: " Z u r the-
oretischen Begriindung des ' M i n i m u m p r i n -
zips' fur die S p a n n u n g einer Gasentladung
und einige weitere F o l g e r u n g e n " ; " B e i t r a g
zum Problem der Entscheidbarkeit der
Giiltigkeit eines Prinzips extremalen Energie-
verbrauchs beim Stromdurchgang durch
einen L e i t e r " ; " D i e positive Saule der Argon-
Niederdruck-Entladung im tjbergangsbereich
I " ; " D i e Berechnung von Energieverteilun-
gen relativistischer E l e k t r o n e n aus ihrer Syn-
chrotonstrahlung. Anwendungen auf den
K r e b s n e b e l . " Physica Status Solidi will pub-
lish results of original research conducted in
solid-state physics. Articles are chiefly in Ger-
man, a few in English; most are preceded by
summaries in both the German and English
languages.

Book Selection Publication Launched
T h e establishment of a publication to
provide a book selection service for col-
lege and university libraries was an-
nounced jointly by the American Library
Association and the Council on Library
Resources. T h e publication will be issued
every two weeks and will contain about
16 pages of editorial matter plus adver-
tising.
T h e service, called a "Current College-
Level Book-Selection Service," would
up-date the widely used Charles B. Shaw
publication, A List of Books for College
Libraries. Though supported initially by
a grant from the Council on Library Re-
sources, the publication is expected to
become self supporting. It would be un-
der the direction of the Association of
College and Research Libraries, a divi-
sion of the A.L.A.
T h e periodical will be produced by
the recently developed Listomatic se-
quential camera which would compose
information concerning book selections
directly from typed cards.
T h e periodical's staff will consist of a
managing editor, associate editor, biblio-
graphic assistant and two clerk-typists in
addition to reviewers, all subject experts
involved in undergraduate instruction.
An estimated 10,000 to 15,000 titles
per year will be considered and 2,000 to
3,000 titles will be reported. T h e publi-
cation is to be directed primarily to un-
dergraduate college libraries with book
funds of $30,000 or less.
T h e objective of the service is to pro-
vide a reference and advisory guide to
inform librarians, faculty, students, schol-
ars, and the general public of the more
important current publications on any
subject. T h e publication, supported ini-
tially by a $150,000 grant, is expected to
review simultaneously with the publica-
tion date of the books or as soon there-
after as feasible. Coverage will include
publications in English, wherever pub-
lished, of potential desirability on all
college campuses. Representative publi-
cations needed for understanding of the
world would be included in addition to
the 'best' publications. Coverage of other
languages will be considered later.
In addition to using experts for re-
views, authoritativeness would be sought
through the cooperation of learned
groups such as the American Council of
Learned Societies, Social Science Re-
search Council, and the National Re-
search Council. Religious and other
special interest groups would be allowed
to contribute titles and annotations for
the publications of particular interest to
their group.
