Royal Society of London Catalogue of Scientific Papers, 1800-1900 is the most comprehensive source for nineteenth-century periodical articles, listed by author. It can be searched online via Nineteenth Century Masterfile. The print volumes are divided into five alphabetical series, each of which must be checked to cover the whole century. Cumulative indexes to mathematics, mechanics and physics (only) exist. Those for mechanics and physics contain much technology.
--Print version available in Widener (RR 5002.5) and other libraries.
--Continued as: International Catalogue of Scientific Literature which covers 1901-1914 (Widener LSoc 5.53.2). Some other libraries have individual Sections; find in HOLLIS)

Science Citation Index (1900- ) allows citation searching, that is, starting with an article of interest and finding more recent articles that have cited it. A record consists of a citation and the article's bibliography (in abbreviated form). The citations themselves can be searched via author, title or other searches or the bibliographies can be searched for the presence of a chosen work (a cited reference search). Since 1991, abstracts have been included. Includes book reviews. Bulk of the records are post-1945, but records back to 1900 are being added.

LOCATION: Widener: Med 100.22.1

The Library of the Surgeon General’s office, now called the National Library of Medicine, published its catalog in book form 1880-1895. The catalog includes an author and a subject entry for books and just a subject entry for articles. Having reached authors and subjects beginning with the letter Z in 1895, they started a 2nd series covering material purchased since the first series. They did this twice more, until, in the 4th series, when cataloging literature beginning with Mn (as in Mnemonic) for the year 1949, they were overwhelmed by the periodical literature and terminated periodical indexing. The 5th series covers books only. Each volume covers the literature for its letter span until about a year before its publication date. Thus, although series 4 indexes the literature through 1949, authors and subjects beginning with the letter A are indexed through about 1935 only. The Library continued to buy older material, so 17th century books may occur in any series. Use Index Medicus for article author access. Biographical data and obituaries are included.

Although the most complete sources for medical bibliography, the Index Medicus and the Index-Catalogue are not exhaustive. They include roughly 50% of the total medical literature. Articles judged of real medical significance and lasting value were selected. The Index Medicus was a current literature supplement to the Index-Catalogue. It contained more material of ephemeral interest than was selected for the Index-Catalogue. Literature for fields considered unscientific by the medical profession, such as homeopathy, osteopathy, etc., was scanned but only material on the history of the fields was selected; medical practice from these areas was not included.
