Book Description

Excerpt from The Mining World Index of Current Literature, Vol. 6: First Half Year The fifth volume of The Mining World Index of Current Literature (for the first half of 1914) covers, as in previous volumes, the worlds literature on mining, metallurgy and kindred subjects and embraces all reference of any importance to the literature of the field it exclusively represents. It will be noticed that the matter appears in 8-point type, making the reading of same much easier than the 6-point type used in former volumes. In The Mining World Index of Current Literature are classified all articles appearing in periodical magazines published in America, Europe, Africa and Australia on mining, mining engineering, metallurgy, mining geology, mineralogy, etc.; also the valuable publications of the worlds mineral industries institutes and affiliated engineering and technical societies, as well as publications of the federal and state geological surveys and mining bureaus at home and abroad - not to mention new books. All these are indexed by a simple plan, easily understood. By the system of cross-indexing used one can readily find what is wanted on any mining or affiliated subject In all cases where the title as published is vague a brief digest is given. Where more than one author is given, the first-named appears in the alphabetical arrangement; the others will be found by referring to authors index. It should be remembered that in the search for some particular article covering a certain subject, where reference of any importance is made in that article to more than one subject, the article will also be indexed under those subjects as well. These may be only a few lines in length, but these few lines may contain just the information you are in search of.
