Synopsis

This revised, updated and expanded edition contains 9400 entries. It includes the latest details from a host of organizations which supply information freely or on a fee basis. For the first time World Wide Web addresses have been added. More Scottish material has been included, as well as more branch addresses. No entries have been carried forward from the previous edition without verification. The entries provide a direct contact point within the organization. There are descriptions for the type of organization, its connections and affiliations, special collections, subject coverage, information services offered, trade and statistical information, printed publications, and electronic and video products. More than 15,000 publications (both hard copy and electronic) are included. The book should be particularly useful for tracking hard-to-locate grey literature, such as newsletters and pamphlets. Defunct organizations' names are also listed for convenience. With more than 6300 abbreviations and acronyms or organizations listed and over 3000 topics in the subject index, it is easy to locate the organization a reader may wish to find. The 7000-plus special collections are also indexed and there is extensive cross-referencing. The directory should be a useful resource for all areas, from commerce to the arts, from science and technology to the social sciences.
