Abstract
DURING the past ten years the staff of the Sheffield City Libraries have compiled a number of bibliographies on technical subjects of special interest to research workers and technical staffs of local firms. In the compilation of these bibliographies expert help has been enlisted where necessary, and the collaboration between trained bibliographers and technical specialists has resulted in the production of a very useful series of reference lists, each relating to one specific subject and including papers and articles from technical periodicals as well as books fully or in part concerned with the subject. The fact that all the references can be consulted in the Sheffield City Libraries is a great convenience to local students and workers, although it naturally robs the bibliographies to some extent of completeness. Perusal of typical lists shows, however, that this lack of completeness does not detract substantially from the value of the compilations, a testimony to the thoroughness with which the City Librarian has catered for the needs of local industries in his acquisition of books and periodicals.
