MONO91 Indexes Generated by Machine-Automatic Derivative Indexing chapter Mary Elizabeth Stevens National Bureau of Standards In addition to the regularly issued KWIC indexes by Biological Abstracts, Chemical Abstracts Service, the American Meteorological Society and others, a large number of special field, one time, or limited collection coverage indexes of this type have been and are being produced both in the United States and in other countries. Well-known examples include the programs developed at the Lawrence Radiation Laboratories, University of California, which simultaneously produce catalog, cross-reference and subject authority cards, I' and the programs developed at the Bell Telephone Laboratories from 1959 on- ward (Kennedy, 1962 [310]). Other KWIC indexing efforts cover a wide variety of subject matter. In the field of law, applications of KWIC type indexing include work on the legislation of the 50 states, a joint project of the American Bar Foundation and the Bobbs-Merrill Company (Eldridge and Dennis, 1962 [183], 1963 [182]), the ninth annual edition of the Index to Legal Theses and Research Projects, July 1962, (Eldridge and Dennis, 1963 [182]); and a co- operative program between the libraries of the Universities of Kansas and Oklahoma to prepare an index to the latter's `1Space Law) collection. 2/ In 1960, the KWIC Index to the Science Abstracts of China was prepared for an AAAS Symposium) (Henuerson, 1[OCRerr]b1 [ 263]; Farley, 1963 [192]). At the University of Kansas Library also, the Kansas Slavic Index is being produced, with coverage of 3, 000 articles from more than 200 Slavic journals. [OCRerr]/ In the computer technology field, Youden (1963 [659] and [660]) has com- piled KWIC type indexes to both the Journal of the ACM and the Communications of the ACM and the Western Periodicals Company offers KWIC indexes to the proceedings of the Joint Computer Conferences as well as to the proceedings of other conferences and symposia including those in fields of electronics, aerospace and quality control. 4/ A special-purpose application is in the use of a KWIC-index in lieu of cross-references in a revised edition of Current Medical Terminology. 5/ Examples of KWIC indexing projects abroad include work at the Japanese Informa- tion Center of Science and Technology, Tokyo, an index `1of the `Chemical Titles'type" at the All-Union Institute for Scientific and Technical Information (VINITI) U.S.S.R__7/ an information journal for the atomic energy field being prepared at the Gmelin Institute, (Koelwijn, 1962 [330]), and work in Great Britain both at the English Electric Company 8/and the IBM British Laboratories (Black, 1962 [65]). 1/ Nation Science Foundation's CR&D Report, No.11, [430], p.42. 2/ 3/ 4/ 5/ 6/ 7/ 8/ Ibid, pp.44 and 171.
