The ready availability of sufficient and suitable source material is a very important requirement. While some libraries have available on their shelves only the abstract journals and the main reference sources and rely on public and other outside libraries for other publications, yet it would appear that this procedure would be very costly in time of personnel. Typing facilities are not available at most public libraiies and it is necessary to write in longhand the data required often, on checking the information later, it may be necessary to make another trip to the library to supplement the data first obtained. Consequently, it has been the aim to have available in The Texas Co. libraries not only all the main abstract journals, American, British, French, and German, reference works, and encyclopedias, but also practically all texts relating to the particular fields of interest of The Texas Co. In the main libraiy prints of reels 1 through 305 of the Technical Oil Mission reports and a collection of reports of the Publication Board, BIOS, FIAT, etc., are retained in loose-leaf binders.
