Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Engineering Index Annual for 1918: Thirty-Fifth Year; Compiled From the Engineering Index, Published Monthly, in Industrial Management During 1918 Each division has a number of sections, enumerated at the head of the division, and each section has a large number of headings under which the individual references are arranged. The names of all sections and headings are in alphabetical order in each division. As an additional convenience to the user, a complete list of all headings and their page numbers in the book is given under the proper division and section, beginning with page 9. The user searching for a given item will save time by consulting first this list, which will assist him in locating at once the section, probable heading and corresponding page number. The references in this index give always the original title of the article in the original language; the serial number used for ordering copies; the author's name, if any; whether the article is illustrated or not; the number of pages or words; the abbreviated name of the publication and its date of issue. If it is a serial article, extending over a number of issues, it is so indicated, but as a rule an article is indexed only on its first appearance, because sufficient for locating. In some instances the various installments of an article are listed. The Index for 1918 comprises about 250 of the more important technical journals, the greater percentage in the English language. During the European war, 1914 to 1918, a large number of foreign publications did not reach the United States and could not be indexed in this volume; those coming to hand later are likely to be found in succeeding volumes. With every entry a brief descriptive note is given defining the scope and purport of the article, in some cases sufficient for the purpose of the investigator and saving him the labor of further search. In general, however, the Index is used as a guide to the otherwise overwhelming mass of information contained in the huge files in engineering periodicals stacked on the shelves of reference libraries throughout the world.
