Textiles Abstracting journals

The textile field is served by several outstanding abstracting journals and indexing services. 

Abstract sections are included in several other textile journals, among them Bulletin de Vinstitut textile de France 198), Canadian Textile Journal 199), Journal of the Society of Dyers and Colourists 206), Melliand Textilberichte 208), Textil Praxis 211), Textil Rundschau 212), and Tiba 215). Textile Research Journal 213) had its own abstracts through 1949. The American Dyestuff Reporter 193) occasionally carries foreign notes which are reviews of articles appearing in foreign publications.

Indexes and Abstracts. The literature searcher must learn to use the periodical indexes. Chemical Abstracts (33), British Abstracts (32), and the journals that regularly publish abstracts of articles appearing in other journals. Often material needed can be found only in the most recent journal. The Engineering Index (2 2) and the Industrial Arts Index (22) are excellent sources for current literature. The American Dyestuff Reporter 29) the Journal of the Society of Dyers and Colourists 35, The Journal of the Textile Institute (33), the Textile Research Journal 39, and the Textile Technology Digest 4-0, publish abstracts and contain patent literature.

The abstract section of the Journal of the Textile Institute 207), begun in 1918, has undoubtedly the most complete coverage in the general field of textiles. The abstracts are classified, and author and subject indexes are published annually. The subject index, largely title entries arranged alphabetically under broad subjects, does not compare favorably with the excellent, specific indexing in Chemical Abstracts. 

In 1944, both Natural a Synthetic Fibers 209) and Textile Technology Digest 214) were started. The former, edited by Harris and Mark, is a loose-leaf literature and patent service with full abstracts of selected articles. The latter, compiled by the Institute of Textile Technology, has relatively short abstracts and covers leading textile journals. 

The abstracts of the Journal of the Textile Institute 28 are very convenient, once the user has become accustomed to the slight differences in terminology—for example, an important index heading is Manufactured Fibers." These abstracts have annual subject, name, and patent number indexes. 

Despite its title, the American Dyestuff Reporter (41) frequently publishes material relating to man-made fibers because it publishes the proceedings of the American Association of Textile Chemists and Colorists. It also runs abstracts of other literature and patents, a feature found in most of the general journals of this type. 

Melliand Textilberichte (45) covers the entire textile industry it carries fundamental and applied research, economic figures, and literature abstracts. This journal also offers its abstracts in a separate service printed on one side of a sheet to permit individual indexing of each abstract. Reyon Zellwolle (48) is similar but devoted to man-made fibers. Covering the same field is a new journal, Faserforschung und Textiltechnik (48).
