New Periodicals of 1961-Part II

By GERALDINE KAUFMAN MAURER

OF T H E PERIODICALS beginning publication in 1961, which have been received at the

Library of Congress, those listed below were selected in the hope that they might prove helpful or of interest to acquisitions librar-ians. T h e topics can be approached from the point of view of reference, instructional aids, practical help for patrons, or recreation.

ABSTRACTS, B I B L I O G R A P H Y . T h e Australian National Bibliography, issued by the Na-tional Library of Australia, supersedes Books Published in Australia. T h e listings will be those acquired by the National Library, by copyright or otherwise; those published in Australia or, if published abroad, those deal-ing with an Australian subject or by Aus-tralians. T h e bibliography will contain also the official monographs listed in Australian Government Publications. There will be an annual cumulation under the same title. Fichero Bibliografico Hispanoamericano is a list chiefly of current books, arranged by the Dewey scheme; each entry is completely cata-loged, including notes; one additional item not seen on most catalog cards is the price. This preliminary issue contains works from 12 countries; it includes translations into Spanish. T h e International Guide to Classi-cal Studies and International Guide to Medieval Studies are in several sections and parts: Current Articles and Minor Contribu-tions; Subject-Index; Review-Index; Index of Authors, Editors, Translators; Index of Reviewers. T h e journals indexed are those published during the current year; annuals, commemorative issues, conference reports, etc., are not indexed. List of Periodicals in the Field of Nuclear Energy will give infor-mation on periodicals so that an intelligent selection can be made by those interested; it is not intended to be comprehensive. Mem-ber states of the International Atomic Energy Agency are cooperating in this project. New American Periodicals will cover, substantially, what this feature in C R L tries to do, differ-

ing in at least two major respects: it is limited as indicated by title; it will give advance in-formation on projected periodicals (this column is limited to receipts in the Library of Congress, and is more or less selective). Pakistan Scientific Literature: Current Bib-liography is arranged, in the main, alpha-betically by journal title, and under journal, by authors as they appear in contents. T h e authors are numbered consecutively and these numbers are used in the alphabetically-arranged author and subject index. T h e first issue covers, chiefly, 1960 publications, the second issue will list 1961 publications plus any 1960 omissions. An answer to the enthu-siasm evoked by a national survey, The Periodical Monitor and Abstract Service; Electronics and Instrumentation Section, will enable scientists and engineers quickly to determine which articles to read, which to eliminate, which merely to scan, in their cur-rent literature. T h e abstracts are numbered consecutively (an aid in the subject and au-thor indexes) under the periodical titles which are alphabetical. There is a listing of new books by subject; of meetings by date; of periodicals monitored (but not necessarily abstracted). T h e charm of the illustrations should be mentioned—many librarians will wonder why the second issue omits the "pic-ture of the librarian." T h e January issue of British Medical Abstracts contains abstracts from Annals of the Rheumatic Diseases, British Medical Journal, The Lancet, The Practitioner, and Proceedings of the Royal Society of Medicine.

BUSINESS. The Chart Book, covering over eight hundred items on the American Stock Exchange, contains charts for each stock, arranged alphabetically. According to the

1 4 6 C O L L E G E A N D R E S E A R C H L I B R A R I E S

chart explanation, a great deal of informa-tion can be extracted from the individual charts, e.g.: weekly high, low, and closing; earnings per share, fiscal year end, type of business; weekly volume; date of latest re-port; current assets, liabilities, and funded debt by millions of dollars; number of com-mon and preferred shares by thousands. T h e Annals of the Hitotsubashi Academy are be-ing published in five specialized journals, the Hitotsubashi Journal of Commerce and Man-agement being one of the group. T h e arti-cles in the first issue by faculty members are on interest, accounting, budget in decentral-ized management, etc. Because sportswear has become a booming business demanding its own publication for retailers, McCall Corporation has begun Sportswear Mer-chandiser to explain sportswear merchandis-ing techniques and to give advance market news for the small specialty shop, and up to the large department store. T h e articles in the first issue of Studi e Ricerche are studies on sampling, sampling on population, on banking, on agriculture in Finland, on the Italian paper market. T h e latter part of the issue is devoted to news notes on business in various countries ("Esperienze Segnalate," "Informazioni sul Settore") and reviews of publications. The Shipper-Motor Carrier Executive will tackle problems of motor carrier transportation. T h e June issue is de-voted largely to freight loss, damage, and liability, with two articles on concealed dam-age. It also contains items on new products and highlights of conferences of the National Association of Shipper-Motor Carriers. It will be the business of T ir DM; Transpor-tation & Distribution Management to nar-row the costly gap between technology of design and manufacture, and technology of distribution; it will concern itself with pro-curement of raw materials, down to putting the finished product in the customer's hand. Special features are an annotated book list and "Transport Legislation in Congress" in tabular form. T h e American Society of Traf-fic and Transportation (membership to which is attained through written examination and submission of research paper) is publishing Transportation Journal as an aid in under-standing, and as a stimulus in appraising, t r a n s p o r t a t i o n problems and pract ices . Among the contributions in the initial issue are articles on freight bills of ca. 150 A.D.,

the U. S. merchant marine dilemma, pro-posed changes in transport regulation; signed book reviews are included. In our modern technological society, economic and politi-cal changes have created new problems in industrial relations; hoping to make real contribution to these critical fields, the In-stitute of Industrial Relations, University of California, has started Industrial Relations. Contributions in the first issue, by econo-mists, are directed to the theme " T h e Em-ployer Challenge and the Union Response." T h e next topic will be "Work and Leisure in Modern Society," by sociologists; the third topic is "Industrial Relations and World Trade , " with contributors from labor and industry. With Erik Bergaust as editor-in-chief, and with eleven other international, experienced journalists especially interested in the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, NATO Journal comes into being. Items of interest to decision makers, management, and businessmen will be included: trends in industry, new developments in science and technology, contract announcements, inter-NATO military news, etc. As an out-growth of requests, the Bureau of Industrial Relations, University of Michigan, will pub-lish in Management of Personnel Quarterly original articles prepared by Michigan fac-ulty or by prominent business leaders for University of Michigan audiences. T h e initial number has articles on the meaning of lead-ership, on discipline, on responses to one's orders, on arbitration, and book reviews.

COUNTRIES . Africa Quarterly, from the In-dian Council for Africa, is following the trend of new journals issued to disseminate information about Africa, and thus to pro-mote understanding of that continent. T h e first issue includes " T h e African Synthesis," by Dr. U. R . Ehrenfels, "Indians in East Africa," by Dr. Amba Prasad, an article on Nigerian art, a section on the council and a seminar it held on Africa, on the Monckton Commission's report, and book reviews, some signed. T h e new College of Business Man-agement at Achimota, Ghana, is starting The Journal of Management Studies. T h e June issue includes articles on Ghana com-pany law and management, on the adminis-trative problems attached to the resettlement of the population of a fishing village, on local government service, training of Ghanai-ans as administrators and accountants, and

signed book reviews. Modern Woman is best explained by adding its subtitle, Africa's Leading Illustrated Women's Magazine. It contains articles on nutrition, African wom-anhood, women in industry, fashion, etc. Through its University College Review, the College at Addis Ababa, hopes to improve the welfare of Ethiopia and the Ethiopian community and the African continent, as well as to focus international attention on Ethiopia. Contributors to the first issue are international in scope; the contributions are chiefly about Ethiopia: its independence, national libraries, orthopedic surgery in Addis Ababa, early travelers, coffee, the Uni-versity College. Signed book reviews are in-cluded. T h e staff of The Journal of British Studies conceives "Brit ish" in the widest possible sense, "studies" as relating to all knowledge pertaining to or drawing upon history; it sets as limits "analysis, synthesis, interpretation and exploratory exegesis." Contributors will be chiefly from the United States, but none will be barred. T h e first issue contains articles on King John Lack-land, Thomas More, John Milton, the Treaty of Dover, Sir Lewis Namier, West Africa, English Conservatism. T h e journal is spon-sored by the Conference on British Studies at Trinity College, Hartford, Connecticut. A highly illustrated magazine from Britain (filed with the U.S. Dept. of Justice under required registration) is Viewpoint. T h e first two issues are varied in range of contents but all pertain to England. T o keep the true Bulgarian culture alive, to make it known, and to give to the new generations—captives of the Soviets—the true historical back-ground, is the purpose of Bulgarian Review published by the "Foyer Bulgare." T h e first two issues contain articles on Bulgarian his-tory and literature, the church, memoirs, book reviews. India View has a twofold pur-pose: to give a detailed summary "of current home news to all Indian students and stu-dents of Ind ia ' s af fa irs , and to he lp strengthen bonds of friendship between In-dia and the United States." Socialist Con-gressman; a Journal of Congress Socialist Opinion is being issued to explain and in-terpret the thinking and policies of the In-dian National Congress in respect to estab-lishing a socialist society in India. T h e first issue contains articles on Kashmir, China's border diplomacy, Jallianwala Bagh Day,

Pantje, and foreign aid. Most previous pub-lications on Korea in English were done by foreigners trying to depict or interpret Korea to other foreigners; now, as Korea increas-ingly plays a part in world politics, it has seemed best for the natives of that country themselves to portray it. T h e first issue of Korea Journal, illustrated, contains articles on Korean politics, democracy, and eco-nomics, General Park, art, education, and book reviews.

CURRENT EVENTS. A new news magazine is being launched in Montreal, Canada Month, with illustrations, especially portraits of peo-ple in the news.

DEFENSE. Civil Defense Magazine intends to disseminate information on the vital subject of nonmilitary defense in nuclear warfare. T h e first issue has articles on practical aspects (shelter, food) and on more technical aspects (cheaper methods of getting material for atomic bombs).

ECONOMICS. T h e Department of Commerce, Osmania University in India, is publishing Applied Economic Papers, the initial issue of which contains articles on phases of Indian economy (land reforms, metallurgical indus-tries, profits and wage sharing). Signed book reviews are included. Desarrollo Econdmico contains technical articles on economics (e.g., how to analyze economic growth); the relationship between distribution of income and the degree of development in underde-veloped countries; land tenure in Argen-tina; agricultural development in Uruguay; etc. Signed book reviews are included. T h e newly founded Hong Kong Economic Asso-ciation has begun Hong Kong Economic Papers to present problems in economics, foreign and local. T h e June issue con-tains lectures before the association, as well as articles on trade between Hong Kong and the Chinese mainland, oil legislation in In-donesia, and the First Conference on Income and Wealth in Asia.

EDUCATION. T h e Journal of American In-dian Education, under an editorial board composed of authorities on that subject, will present articles from anyone who has infor-mation to impart on any facet of the educa-tion of Indians, any kind of school, any level of instruction. T h e contributors to the first issue are actively engaged in education or guidance, or in direct work with Indian af-fairs. It includes book reviews. Overseas; the

1 4 8 C O L L E G E A N D R E S E A R C H L I B R A R I E S

Magazine of Educational Exchange will be devoted to educational exchange programs and the importance of education in interna-tional development, to draw world attention to these matters, and to report new pro-grams. T h e first issue contains articles by Dean Rusk, Henry Cabot Lodge, Albert G. Sims, Andre Maurois, James M. Davis, and others. Signed book reviews are included.

J O U R N A L I S M . Stirred by a sense of duty, the Graduate School of Journalism, Colum-bia University, is launching Columbia Jour-nalism Review to study and judge journal-ism, to strengthen its good features, to bring to light its weaknesses. All methods of relay-ing news to the public will be under scrutiny.

LAW. Although the Natural Resources Journal will not be limited to resources problems, it will nevertheless be largely de-voted to this vital area. A general section contains articles on peaceful purposes of nu-clear explosions, oil and gas leases, water in California, resources management, etc.; an-other section contains articles on laws in New Mexia>—criminal code, annulment of marriages, real property statutes. Signed book reviews will be included. A comple-ment to the Bulletin of the Copyright Society is the new Publishing, Entertain-ment, Advertising, and Allied Fields Law Quarterly. In addition to original articles, it will contain reprints, practical as well as technical, thus appealing to the lawyer and the businessman. T h e first issue has articles on titles litigations; food, drug, and cosmetic advertising; the right to shield a "reliable source"; protection for "uncopyrightables"; tax discrimination against artists. Under the directorship of Dr. Agricol de Bianchetti in Buenos Aires, Revista de Derecho Deportivo is in two sections, "Doctrina" and "Legisla-cion." T h e first part contains articles on foot-ball, sports in education, sports associations, sports as a political-criminal problem; the second part has the statutes and bylaws of the Federation Internationale de Football Association.

L I T E R A T U R E . T h e newly founded Assam Academy for Cultural Relations has begun The Assam Quarterly in which to publish cultural articles on Assam and its literature, including translations. T h e authors of the poems and stories in Chrysalis Review are not limited to any geographic area or field, although several are teachers of English. T h e

linguist (Okyeame) is the recognized channel of communication in Ghana between tribe and chief; Okyeame is to be a channel of communication for Ghanaian writers, and the first issue contains poetry, prose, drama, and illustrations. It is in English; one article contains folk songs in Ghanaian languages, with a discussion and English translation. There are book reviews. T h e publication of Drama Survey has been made possible through a grant from the McKnight Foun-dation. T h e Spring issue contains a wide variety of articles, from those on Shaw and Shakespeare to an article on dramas which show revolt against the image of authority; there is also a contribution from Sir Tyrone Guthrie. Signed book reviews are included. Under the direction of Pedro Aurelio Fiori and Daniel R . Sobico comes Cuadernos de Poesia, whose initial issue contains poems by the directors only. Most of the contributors to the first issue of Elizabeth; a Magazine of Modern Elizabethan and Metaphysical Po-etry have had poems published elsewhere.

HISTORY, RELIGION. Resulting from the Mos-cow Document of November 1960, from resolutions of the Sozialistische Einheitspartei Deutschlands, and within the plan of the Government of the DDR, Unsere Zeit comes from East Germany to depict the social his-tory of postwar Germany, especially the zone under Russian influence. Included are book reviews and indexes of pertinent periodicals, both German and Russian, arranged by broad subjects. T h e History of Religions will be "devoted to the study of historical reli-gious phenomena. One of its primary aims is the integration of the results of the several disciplines of the science of religion; its articles will have a synthetical character in order to acquaint the reader with the prog-ress being made in the general area of the history of religions (Religionswissenschaft)." Biographical notes on the contributors are included. T h e Society for the Scientific Study of Religion intends the Journal for the Scientific Study of Religion to serve as a forum for those who study religious attitudes and activities. T h e October issue has papers on a symposium, "Theory and Methodology in the Scientific Study of Rel igion;" several articles from an empirical approach; contri-butions to "Bibliographical Focus: Ernst Troeltsch;" and signed book reviews.

MEDICINE, PSYCHOLOGY. With Elinor Ulman

M A R C H 1 9 6 2 1 4 9

as editor (and founder) the Bulletin of Art Therapy is a pioneer in the new field of using painting and sculpturing in psychiatric treatment. The plan is to include at least one article on theory to arouse discussion and creative thinking; notices about meet-ings, exhibitions, etc.; about articles in other periodicals; and book reviews. The Journal of Humanistic Psychology will publish arti-cles "of theoretical and applied research, original contributions, papers, articles and studies in values, autonomy, being, self, love, creativity, identity, growth, psychological health, organism, self-actualization, basic need-gratification and related concepts."

MUSIC. Bravo, Magazine of the Lively Arts will be a serious, lighthearted, enthusiastic magazine about music, about those who make it, about those for whom it is made. The first issue contains articles on the Pierre Salingers, new pianists, Virgil Thomson, American singers in Europe, caricatures by Mrs. Koussevitsky, etc. The Hungarian Acad-emy of Sciences (Magyar Tudomanyos Aka-demia) is beginning Studia Musicologica, which will contain articles on Hungarian musicology, on music history, on Hungarian collections of manuscripts of foreign com-posers, and general notes concerning con-gresses and meetings. Articles may be in English, French, German or Russian; the first issue has no articles in the last-mentioned language. This initial issue has articles on Mozart, on J . G. Albrechtsberger, Ferenc Erkel, and on music in Hungary in the Mid-dle Ages.

PRINTING. Graphic Technology aims "at dealing with the developments in all meth-ods of printing illustration, the materials and apparatus used, the best ways of using them, and why. Our interest will cover not only photographic and chemical materials, but also paper and ink in their technical and functional aspects."

RECREATION. The newly formed American Boxwood Society is issuing The Boxwood Bulletin to share problems and exchange experiences of growing buxus. Marina Man-agement will devote itself to waterfront facilities with the accompanying merchandis-ing problems, believing that the growth of marinas will resemble that of motels. It con-tains notes on new products—food, drink, boat equipment and accessories. "Show will be the definitive magazine of the performing

arts, and our view of those arts will be broad." Exploration will be devoted to in-quiries into new areas, and new inquiries into old areas; it will attempt to spread knowledge of man to man in an interesting way. "Great Religions," "Cities of the East," signed book reviews and a profile page are to be regular features. In addition to these, the first issue has illustrated articles on Maori carving, Albania, the Dinkas, on Vinoba Bhave, geology, Lapland, etc.

SOCIAL SCIENCES. T h e Bole tin Uruguay o de Sociologia will air the current sociological problems of the day, but especially those of Latin America and Uruguay. The first issue is in sections (Uruguay, Latinoam^rica, In-ternational, Bibliograffa) which are divided (save the last section) into Informaci6n, Doctrina. The Informaci6n has news items about meetings, congresses, institutions. The Doctrina contains articles from scholars on an international basis: Isaac Gan6n, Aldo Solari, Alfredo Povina, Alfonso Trujillo Fer-rari, Pitirim A. Sorokin. As a continuation of Ciencias Sociales, published 1950-56, the Department of Social Affairs of Pan Ameri-can Union has begun Revista Interamericana de Ciencias Sociales. It will disclose trends in social disciplines, particularly those which apply to Latin America. The first issue has, among others, an extensive contribution, "Los Lenguajes Indigenas de America Lat-ina"; signed book reviews are included. The second issue is devoted to the theme "La Agricultura y el Desarrollo de la Civilizaci6n en Mesoam^rica."

SCIENCE. A new journal, The Australian Scientist, from New South Wales brings news of scientific development in Australia; it hopes to stimulate interest in that field among Australians. Because enzymology has emerged as a fundamental science, and a strong interest in biological enzymology has developed, scientists have felt the need for a journal and Enzymologia Biologica et Clinica hopes to fill that need. The articles in the first issue are: "Anomalie de l'Aldolase H^patique dans l'lntolerance au Fructose"; "Localization of Dehydrogenases and Glyco-gen Metabolizing Enzymes in Muscle Tissue of the Desert Locust"; "Uber Enzyme der Glykolyse in Leukozyten von Kindern"; "Serum Ornithine Transcarbamylase Activity in Normal Individuals." Although originally only of interest to physical scientists, the

1 5 0 C O L L E G E A N D R E S E A R C H L I B R A R I E S

concepts of transmission of information are now appealing to biological scientists in studying how organisms handle information; and in return, physicists are becoming inter-ested in the procedures by which organisms cope with communication and control. Kybernetik will publish both theoretical and experimental articles in this exchange. T h e Crop Science Society of America has begun Crop Science as a vehicle for unpublished papers on research in field crops including genetics, cytology, physiology, ecology, and breeding; articles which formerly might have appeared in the overburdened Agronomy Journal. Articles in the first issue are accom-panied by bibliographies and summaries; some are illustrated. T h e last page is devoted to signed book reviews. T h e articles in the first issue of Radiation Botany are in Eng-lish, prefaced by summaries in English, French, and German, and are the reports of research performed chiefly in the United States and Great Britain. T h e journal will report, mainly, effects of ionizing radiation on plants or plant structure. Signed book reviews are included. Important and current technical chemical literature from the Soviet Union, Eastern Europe, and Asia will be translated in International Chemical Engi-neering. A list by country of the journals received is included. Represented also are items dealing with information retrieval, "based on the concept-coordination system of information storage and retrieval." Phyto-chemistry will publish articles on pure and applied research in basic metabolic processes of plants. T h e technical illustrated articles are preceded by abstracts; they may be in English, French, or German. Still another chemical journal Zeitschrift filr Chemie, has been undertaken, this one from the Eastern Zone of Germany, under the auspices of the Chemische Gesellschaft in der Deutschen Demokratischen Republik. This publication contains technical articles, short report arti-cles, and signed book reviews. Geofisica In-ternational will contain original articles on geophysics in Spanish and in one of the fol-lowing: English, French, German, or Rus-

sian. Thus, Spanish will be promoted as a medium of scientific expression, and at the same time contributions by Spanish scientists will be circulated. T h e first issue is a lengthy article, in Spanish and English, "Pene-Con-temporaneous Tectonics along the Mexican Pacific Ocean Coast," by F. Mooser and M. Maldonado-Koerdell. Nordisk Tidskrift for Informationsbehandling will contain articles on numerical analysis, data-processing, and computer-technical problems in English, French, or German, with contributions chiefly from the five Scandinavian countries. Articles in a Scandinavian language will have a summary in English. T h e editor and pub-lisher of The System Analyzer; a Bulletin for Those Concerned with Digital Differential Analyzers and Their Applications, George F. Forbes, has also written most of the contribu-tions in the first issue. In addition to illus-trated technical articles, there are book re-views and a bibliography. T h e Applied Physics Laboratory, Johns Hopkins Univer-sity, "requires a synthesizing agent to pre-serve the over-all pattern of its activities, not only for the benefit of its own staff, but also for the benefit of scientific and engineering colleagues throughout the world." T h e agent is the APL Technical Digest. T h e initial issue of Beitrage aus der Plasmaphysik contains four original technical articles by work-ers in German research institutes: "Zur the-oretischen Begriindung des 'Minimumprin-zips' fur die Spannung einer Gasentladung und einige weitere Folgerungen"; "Beitrag zum Problem der Entscheidbarkeit der Giiltigkeit eines Prinzips extremalen Energie-verbrauchs beim Stromdurchgang durch einen Leiter"; "Die positive Saule der Argon-Niederdruck-Entladung im tjbergangsbereich I " ; "Die Berechnung von Energieverteilun-gen relativistischer Elektronen aus ihrer Syn-chrotonstrahlung. Anwendungen auf den Krebsnebel." Physica Status Solidi will pub-lish results of original research conducted in solid-state physics. Articles are chiefly in Ger-man, a few in English; most are preceded by summaries in both the German and English languages.

Book Selection Publication Launched The establishment of a publication to

provide a book selection service for col-lege and university libraries was an-nounced jointly by the American Library Association and the Council on Library Resources. The publication will be issued every two weeks and will contain about 16 pages of editorial matter plus adver-tising.

T h e service, called a "Current College-Level Book-Selection Service," would up-date the widely used Charles B. Shaw publication, A List of Books for College Libraries. Though supported initially by a grant from the Council on Library Re-sources, the publication is expected to become self supporting. It would be un-der the direction of the Association of College and Research Libraries, a divi-sion of the A.L.A.

The periodical will be produced by the recently developed Listomatic se-quential camera which would compose information concerning book selections directly from typed cards.

The periodical's staff will consist of a managing editor, associate editor, biblio-graphic assistant and two clerk-typists in addition to reviewers, all subject experts involved in undergraduate instruction.

An estimated 10,000 to 15,000 titles per year will be considered and 2,000 to

3,000 titles will be reported. The publi-cation is to be directed primarily to un-dergraduate college libraries with book funds of $30,000 or less.

The objective of the service is to pro-vide a reference and advisory guide to inform librarians, faculty, students, schol-ars, and the general public of the more important current publications on any subject. T h e publication, supported ini-tially by a $150,000 grant, is expected to review simultaneously with the publica-tion date of the books or as soon there-after as feasible. Coverage will include publications in English, wherever pub-lished, of potential desirability on all college campuses. Representative publi-cations needed for understanding of the world would be included in addition to the 'best' publications. Coverage of other languages will be considered later.

In addition to using experts for re-views, authoritativeness would be sought through the cooperation of learned groups such as the American Council of Learned Societies, Social Science Re-search Council, and the National Re-search Council. Religious and other special interest groups would be allowed to contribute titles and annotations for the publications of particular interest to their group.
