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 authors 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.
