Library users can also use the card catalogues. Individual entries from Apicultural Abstracts are still copied on to catalogue cards which are filed in alphabetical order by author, but subject cards have been superseded by the computer. You can take all the worry out of doing a subject search by arranging for our librarian to do it for you. We will find out what information has been published on particular topics during a specified time period, and you can decide whether to study the relevant publications at the library, borrow them, or ask for copies of either the abstracts or publications to be made.

All material is listed by author's name in the card catalogue.
The card entries give valuable information on the type of publication you're looking for and where to find it in the library. Subject catalogues Finding information by subject using the cards is a little more difficult than by author. We have a subject card catalogue for library acquisitions up to and including 1984. For material since 1973 it is best to ask the library staff to carry out a computer search. The use of these can be explained in detail by the library staff.
