This directory is intended primarily for the use of the special librarians of Boston. It has been prepared on the basis of a questionnaire sent to all sources of information that could be readily located, followed up by personal and telephone calls wherever possible. One of the questions submitted was: “Will you extend to other librarians the privilege of consulting your library?” Only those who replied to this question affirmatively have been listed. This will explain certain omissions such as some of the newspaper libraries, which are restricted to the use of their own staffs. Included in the list are two commercial organizations which ordinarily make a charge for information furnished. These are Sampson and Murdock and the Roger W. Babson Statis¬ tical Organization. Sampson and Murdock state they will be glad to be of service to special librarians, without cost, except where . their directories ore to be used for the compiling of commercial lists. The librarian of the Babson organization has likewise agreed to respond to reasonable requests for information not regarded as confidential, and not covered by the pub¬ lished reports. 3 The subject index is intended to be merely suggestive, as it was not feasible to attempt a union catalogue of the resources of all the libra¬ ries in Boston. Attention is called particularly to the wide resources of the Public Library and the State Library, as well as to the large college libraries which offer their facilities to all inquirers. As the special libraries are nearly all attached to private organizations it is suggested that they be called on only when the public sources of information are inconvenient or inadequate. Boston is to be understood as the location of all libraries except where otherwise indicated. The Boston Special Libraries Association will be glad to receive suggestions for the improve¬ ment of the list, and notes for any corrections needed. We are glad to acknowledge the courtesy of Hon. Andrew J. Peters, Mayor of Boston, and the assistance of the Convention and Tourist Bureau of the Boston Chamber of Commerce in securing the publication of this edition. Information of any character concerning any part of New England may be obtained by librarians upon request to the Boston Chamber of Commerce, 177 Milk Street, Boston 9, Mass. 4 1.
