ESTABLISH INFORMATION SERVICE

The Research Information Service of the National Research Council has announced from its office in Washington. D. C., its recently established plan of assisting investigators in scientific research by locating, scientific publications which are not generally or readily accessipbe. Realizing that many scientists lack the library facilities which their work demands, and that they are compelled either to journey to distant libraries or to borrow books by mail, the Service plans to have manuscripts, printed matter, or illustrations copied by Photostat or typewriter. The cost of copying varies from ten to twenty five cents per page. No charge is made for this service unless an advance estimate of cost has been submitted and approved by correspondence. Requests for assistance should be addressed, national Research Council, Information Service, 1701 Massachusetts avenue, Washington, D. C.
