Bibliographic Sources

SOURCES.DAT This file contains complete references used in the various data bases. 

The header is the reference header referred to in the data base. 

SOURCES.LST This file relates the reference headers used in the various data bases to the location of the associated reference in SOURCES.DAT. 

1 - 5 Line where reference can be found in the SOURCES.DAT file

This approach is obviously simplified but can only be improved when there is much more data available than in this specific case. This enriched approach was not possible given the poor bibliographical source. It was made possible because of availability of current databases. The rules presented here are nevertheless sufficient since the published AfT are not very accurate. The table below gives the contributions of groups that could be determined. It is Impossible to have access to all types of structures since some of them are not well documented enough for the time being. 

Each entry contains the title of the article, the author(s) and the bibliographic source which is given in abbreviated form according to standard scientific notation. The present chapter does not use the reference conventions that have been adopted elsewhere throughout this treatise as this chapter is essentially its own bibliography. 

In this section i will indicate the bibliographical sources that have been used for the preparation of the notes including the authors that have not been mentioned m the text. This is not intended to be a complete bibliography of the subject...

Lists of titles of dissertations that appear in university publications are difficult to find because locating them depends upon general bibliographic sources, none of which covers this material very completely. The lists of dissertation titles which are issued by the universities appear as separate pamphlets, or in yearbooks, serials, and commencement programs. 

One of the largest online bibliographic sources for toxicology information, these databases contain over 3 million citations to all areas of toxicology. TOXLINE references are drawn from various sources grouped into two parts - TOXLINE Core and TOXLINE Special. A standard search of TOXLINE retrieves records from both subsets. Users can also limit retrieval to only one. Both files are available on the NLM MEDLARS system (DIALOG on CD through Silver Platter). 

In previous years, you may have used one or more of the CD-ROMs (compact disks of stored information) in your library, perhaps when you needed to consult an encyclopedia, such as Encarta or Grolier s. Today, most college libraries have converted almost exclusively to online information services that will lead you to appropriate databases (general and specific) for your subject. A database allows you to use a computer to scan electronic indexes that list thousands of bibliographic sources, abstracts, and texts.

The main difficulty in comparing analytical data from different bibliographic sources is related above all to the method of PCB quantihcation since there is not yet a widely accepted standard procedure. 

The second and more detailed section of the chapter discusses the scientific literature data bases relevant to the process of labeling in the chemical industry. It provides information with respect to services readily available to the labeler directly including libraries, chemical references and bibliographical sources for toxicological and medical information. The importance of the computerized literature retrieval system is discussed in detail because of its ability to increase the comprehensiveness and the efficiency of the search, especially for material involving hazardous chemical data in general and toxicological information in particular. 

The bibliographic sources give more often char, not hints ar guesses at the Higher order, at the inner meaning, though in this field, perhai>s more than any other, one must have the eyes to sec, and the mind to understand.
