Simon, Hans-Reiner

The following additional materials are included in this collection: (1) a biography of Samuel Bradford; (2) bibliographies of works by and about Samuel Bradford; (3) articles by Samuel Bradford, including "Sources of Information on Specific Subjects,""Note on the Scattering of Papers on Specific Subjects in Scientific Periodicals," and "Complete Documentation in Science and Technology," and a chapter on "The Documentary Chaos" from the book, "Documentation"; (4)"Distribution of Citations in Databases in a Multidisciplinary Field" (Carol Tenopir); (5) "Relevante Zeitschriften fur die Veterinarmedizin--Versuch einer Analyse anhand von funf Literatur-Datenbasen" ("Relevant Literature for Veterinary Medicine--An Analysis of Publications Found in Five Databasen") (Wolf D. Hoffmann and Jutta H. T. Klawiter-Pommer); and (6) "Bradford's Law and Libraries: Present Applications--Potential Promise" by M. Carl Drott, Jacqueline C. Mancall, and Belver C. Griffith.
