ABSTRACT THE movement for co-operation in bibliography has received an important impetus from the Bataafsche Petroleum Maatschappij. This company classifies, by means of the Decimal
Classification, 150,000 references annually to literature in chemistry, physics, etc., and their applications. We learn from Dr. S. C. Bradford that, since March last, the firm has
contributed copies of its non-secret references to the Science Library, for intercalation, with titles from other sources using the standard classification, in its Subject-Matter Index of 2J
million references to scientific papers. This valuable contribution exemplifies the new spirit of co-operation in bibliography, which is surely achieving the production of a complete index
to the records of discovery and invention. It is interesting to note, also, that Dr. Maximilian Pfliicke, the editor of the Chemisettes Zentralblatt, is collaborating in the production of
the German edition of the Decimal Classification. Access through your institution Buy or subscribe This is a preview of subscription content, access via your institution ACCESS OPTIONS
