The entire alphabetical index for the period Jan 1979 through Dec 1981 will be contained on one roll of film. The film is supplied with a special high-speed microfilm reader (The ROM 3 COM Terminal) which uses an electric motor to quickly move the film to the desired letter of the alphabet.

The citation includes the name of the paper, volume number, date (month, day, year), section, page, and column. The length of the article in column inches follows the page number. Accompanying illustrations, charts, graphs, tables and portraits are noted. |
