WORLD FORESTRY LITERATURE
The Microfilm Unit of the Department of Forestry at Oxford University has completed filming its Author Catalogue of World Forestry Literature, 1934-1968/69. About 150000 cards are recorded on the 28 reels of 35-mm microfilm to become the latest in a series of microfilmed catalogues.
Already the unit has filmed the Subject Catalogue, 195164, and a supplement, 1965-67/68. Next will be the Subject Catalogue known throughout the forestry world as the Flury Catalogue, after the name of the Chairman of the Bibliographical Committee of IUFRO which produced the first international classification scheme for forestry literature in 1933. This catalogue covers the period 1934-51. Finally the unit intends to film the earliest subject and author catalogues, which contain references dating from 1822.
When this work has been completed, nearly one million references will be recorded on microfilm, which must place forestry well to the fore in the practice of scientific documentation.
All microfilms are available for purchase at a reasonable cost, and further information may be obtained from the librarian or the unit supervisor, Commonwealth Forestry Institute, University of Oxford, South Parks Road, Oxford England.
