Abstract
THIS catalogue covers the periodicals of seventy-seven libraries in the Union of South Africa which have agreed to co-operate in inter-library loaning. While it should primarily facilitate such loans and thus materially aid the war effort in South Africa, it is also an important aid to reshuffling so as to place the most complete sets in the larger centres. The catalogue renders comparatively easy the compilation of a national list of desiderata of those important titles of which no sets or only poor sets exist in any South African library, and besides eliminating unnecessary duplication it should encourage co-operative purchase to fill the lacunæ thus revealed.
