Book excerpt: The phenomenal growth of science and technology As a complementary effort to its Data Table Series, has brought about a universal appreciation of the fact CINDAS published in 1967 a work entitled Thermo physical Properties Research Literature Retrieval that present limitations in many technical develop ments are often a direct result of the paucity of knowl Guide. This three-book work reported 33,700 refer ences on seven thermophysical property groups and edge on material properties. Engineering develop ments in the years ahead will be closely linked to the about 45,000 materials. This Basic Edition systemati research that is done today to contribute to a better cally covered the world's unclassified literature pub lished essentially between 1920 and mid-1964, in understanding of the properties of matter, of which many instances going much earlier. Then, in 1973, thermophysical properties constitute a major segment. While research on the properties of materials con Supplement I to the Basic Edition was published, with 26,000 additional references on sixteen thermophysi tinues, adequate steps are not being taken to ensure cal properties of 20,000 materials, covering the years that this invaluable body of information is coordi nated, synthesized, organized, and disseminated to the mid-1964 to 1970. In 1979, CINDAS published Supplement II to the ultimate user, namely, tpe individual scientist and Basic Edition, reporting over 15,000 new references engineer. on fourteen thermophysical properties of 12,674 sub It is generally agreed that the present level of re stances.
