THE DECLASSIFIED DOCUMENTS REFERENCE SYSTEM, 1975-1981 THE ANNUAL COLLECTIONS, 1975-1981 The Annual Collections are complete through 1980 and comprise approximately 11,000 Declassified Documents, contained on 665 microfiche, abstracted on a total of 1,536 pages of quarterly abstracts, and fully indexed in annual subject volumes. The documents, released primarily by the CIA, NSC, State and Defense Departments, and the White House, provide major coverage of the following areas: -th e Vietnam and Korean Wars, US-Iranian relations (1940’s through 1960’s), the 1965 coup in Indonesia, and China’s cultural revolution; - defense and national security planning, including estimates of Soviet capabilities and intentions through the 1960’s; - the Bay of Pigs and Cuban missile crisis, the overthrow of Brazil’s Joao Goulart, and the Dominican civil war; - the mid-1960’s gold crisis and US balance of payments programs; - French withdrawal from NATO, the economic situation in the UK, and US policy towards Berlin and Germany; - the Kennedy assassination investigation; - Zaire after independence, the Suez Canal crisis, South African apartheid, and the war in Algeria; - chemical warfare and CIA and Army drug research programs. THE RETROSPECTIVE COLLECTION -The full texts o f 8,032 Declassified Documents are contained on 1,008 microfiche. - Original abstracts o f the documents appear in two hardcover Abstract volumes, arranged chronologically under names o f issuing agencies. -A single-alphabet Cumulative Subject Index to both the Retrospective and the 1975 Annual Collections is contained in one hardcover volume. Included for the first time in the Retrospective Collection are special groups of documents on Alger Hiss, the Rosenbergs, and Lee Harvey Oswald (including the diary he kept while in the U.S.S.R.). Also included are de­ classified documents from the papers of several presidential aides and advisors such as Chester Bowles, Clark Clifford, C.D. Jackson, General Lucius Clay and others. The Retrospective Collection also contains a number of technical and scientific documents. It is important to note that none of the abstracts or microfiche copies of the documents contained in the Annual Collections are included in the Retrospective Collection. However, all entries from the 1975 Cumulative Subject Index have been merged into a combined Cumulative Subject Index in the Retrospective set in order to provide a single source of subject access for both sets of documents. DDRS WAS CO-WINNER OF THE INFORMATION INDUSTRY ASSOCIATION’S 1978 “PRODUCT OF THE YEAR” AWARD HERE ARE EXCERPTS FROM REVIEWS OF THE DECLASSIFIED DOCUMENTS REFERENCE SYSTEM -JOURNAL OF CONTEMPORARY ASIA, v. 8, no. 4 (1978). Reviewed by G. Kolko, Department of History, York University, Toronto, Canada, “Superior to the State Department's Foreign Relations series, the System is best compared to the Pentagon Papers, the four most important and hitherto unavailable volumes of which are found reproduced here for the first time. But since no equivalent of the Pentagon Papers for Indonesia, Thailand, Brazil, Malaysia, Korea, Cuba, or India has been issued, in fact it is a major new source for these nations as well as China and Japan. Asian questions and nations are probably the most extensively covered, but anyone working seriously on Latin America, Africa, or European studies will also be required to consult the System’s documents.” - RQ, Reference and Adult Services Division, ALA, v. 15, no. 4, Summer 1976, pp. 353-355. Michael O. Shannon of the Herbert Lehman College, Bronx, New York wrote a comprehensive review of the DDRS in which he stated, "The entire system is characterized by remarkable simplicity of arrangement and ease of searching, and one hopes that it may grow in size and extent.” . . . “This is a major research tool to basically archival-type material and should be worth the price for any major research institution that wishes to provide first rate coverage in the fields of recent government, foreign affairs, and politics.” - CHOICE, Association of College and Research Libraries, ALA, v. 13, no. 8 (October 1976) unsigned, p. 956. “The catalog and separately available microfiche of the documents themselves form a complete system of information not available elsewhere, neither indexed in the Monthly Catalog nor published by the G.P.O. The catalog, indexed by a former chief of C.I. A. indexing operations, is a unique source of information about formerly secret activities, and of great value to the researcher and the large academic or public library.” -BOOKLIST, ALA, v. 72, no. 12 (February 15, 1976) “Reference and Subscription Books Reviews” (unsigned) pp. 875-6. “For large academic and public libraries whose patrons do extensive research in subjects in which the government may have a controlling interest, the Declassified Documents Quarterly Catalog and its Index will provide access to materials heretofore unavailable and even unknown, although their existence may have been assumed or suspected. In the expectation that future issues will appear and that coverage will expand, the Declassified Documents Quarterly Catalog with its Cumulative Subject Index is recommended for these large libraries or any library whose patrons require access to this type of information." -GOVERNMENT PUBLICATIONS REVIEW, v. 3, no. 2 (1976). The following was extracted from a review by Professor Robin Higham, Department of History, Kansas State University. Professor Higham is also author of Official Histories (1970) and an Editor of Military Affairs and Aerospace Historian. “The great advantage of what Carrollton Press is doing is that it provides the researcher and the librarian with one compact set of Declassified Documents complete with finding aids. The sooner the system is brought to the attention of scholars the better.” -SERIALS REVIEW, Ju ly /September, 1975, p. 51. Quoted below are excerpts from a review by Bernard A. Block, Documents Librarian at Ohio State University, Columbus, Ohio. “The Carrollton Press has made a strong beginning toward developing a good collection of declassified documents, well cataloged, abstracted, and indexed. The importance of such material for historians, political scientists, and other researchers cannot be overestimated. The Declassified Documents microfiche collection and related catalogs and indexes are highly recommended for academic and public research libraries.” Your patrons will want access to the entire system — So use this coupon to make certain you r coverage will be complete. 116 of America, Washington, D C.

USGS and DMA are the two largest suppliers of maps to college and university libraries through their depository programs. The main issues under discussion involved broad­ er availability of material and im provements in the distribution system. As a result of Council recom­ mendations th ere is a distinct possibility that the distribution functions of the two depository systems will be m erged in the near future. The Geological Survey is in the process of re-defining its depository system to improve communication with depository libraries. More material will arrive rolled instead of folded, libraries will be surveyed when new pro­ ducts are available, and geographic selectivity may be a possibility in the geologic map series. The Cartographic Users Advisory Council invites libraries concerned with federal mapping or earth science agencies to address inquiries or comments to: Charles A.
