It's a magazine composed of the tables ofcontents from the most current journal issues in thesciences. It appears weekly and is divided into subtitles:Enaineerina. Technology and Applied Sciences. Physics.Chemistry and Earth Sciences, and Social and BehavioralSciences. If you'd like to view the tables of contents forJournals the library doesn't have, this is the perfectmedium for you. Ask to see it at the Mesa Library.

My acquisitions recommendation for the Mesa, RL-3, RL-6, MAR, or RAF Library (circle one)is: Name:

The following new books for the Mesa, RL-3, RL-6, MAR, and RAF Libraries will be displayed in the MesaLibrary October 17 through October 23. New acquisitions announced last week (October 10) are presentlyon display in the RL-6 Library through October 23. They may be reserved during display for subsequent check-out. NCAR members located off the Mesa may borrow new books, reports, and microfiche by checking the item(s)of interest below and sending the list to Gayl Gray. Reference material, however, does not circulate.
