A SINGLE CARD LABORATORY REFERENCE INDEX SYSTEM

Abstract

A single card (self-coordinated) laboratory reference index is described. It utilizes a modified Keysort bibliographic card classification. The references are cross-indexed via a five-code classification for: (1) year of publication reference, (2) alphabetical index (senior author's surname), (3) a direct index (major laboratory subject), (4) classification index (minor subject division of direct index), and (5) numerical index (project number). This edge-punched data retrieval system appears feasible and can be adapted to individual or medical laboratory use.
