There has also been completed an index to the English journal
_Engineering_, comprising 84,000 cards, from the beginning to
date.
An index to Dingler's _Polytechnisches Journal_ was also
commenced as long ago as 1878, carried on for six or seven
years and then dropped. I hope, however, at no remote date, to
bring this forward to the present time.
On taking charge of the library I was at once impressed with
the immense value of the periodical literature on our shelves
and the great importance of making it more readily accessible,
and have had in contemplation for some time the beginning of a
card index to all our periodicals on the same general plan as
that of Rieth's Repertorium. I have, however, been unable to
obtain sufficient force to cover the whole ground, but have
selected about one hundred and fifty journals, notably those
upon the subjects of chemistry, electricity and engineering,
both in English and foreign languages, the indexing of which
has been in progress since the first of January.
