Indexed Ideational Shifts in the "Index-Catalogue of the Library of the Surgeon-General's Office of the United States Army."
Lussky, Joan
Proceedings of the ASIST Annual Meeting, v40 p265-70 2003
Explores to what extent the germ theory, when it was still a relatively new idea, is evident in the bibliographic records in the "Index-Catalogue of the Library of the Surgeon-General's Office of the United States Army" (Index Cat), the largest medical bibliographical tool ever published. Data suggest that scientists are quick to apply the new knowledge inherent in the latest scientific breakthroughs to their own area of research. (AEF)
