207 ClASS1FtCAtlON OF SUBJECT MATERIAL I n the c l a s s i f l c a t i o n a of subject material pertaining t o meats we have a r a t h e r d i f f i c u l t task because of a l l t h e r e l a t e d subject matter t h a t must be considered. I n addition t o subject matter a c t u a l l y concerning meat i t s e l f, we muet consider euoh thinge as production f a c t o r s which influence t h e demand f o r meat, t h e b e s t way t o eupply that demand, modern physical, chemical, and bacteriological methods used i n the study of meats, and many old and constantly a r i a l n g new f a c t o r s influencing t h i e f l e l d of l i t e r a t u r e. A r a t h e r important question ariees even a f t e r we set up our proposed c l a s s i f i c a t i o n system. That is: "Under w h a t heading s h a l l I c l a s s i f y t h i s p a r t i c u l a r a r t i c l e? " For example, i f w e ran across an a r t i c l e e n t i t l e d "A Method of Reduciw t h e Development of Rancidity i n Lard by the uae of ' X ' Antioxidant, " should w e place t h a t a b s t r a c t under Antioxidants, Fats and O i l s, Pork, o r j u s t what? O r ahould it be placed under a l l thoee subjects? Of course, the crom indexing should take care of' that, b u t it s t i l l must be placed under an o r i g i n a l heading. This should be l e f t t o the individual r e viewer who I s preparing t h e a b s t r a c t, I think, as he should be able t o place it under the subject t o which it i s most r e l a t e d. We have prepared a summary of our proposed c l a e s i f i c a t i o n system. This c l a s s i f i c a t i o n is probably not complete and may be added t o from time t o t i m e as t h e need a r i s e s. One part of t h i s c l a s e i f i c a t l o n t h a t I want t o p a r t i c u l a r l y emphasize i s t h e topic e n t i t l e d miscellaneous. That can be a l l inclueive and can soon grow t o be too large If more headings are not added. L e t ' s take a look a t the proposed system as w e have outlined it. We have l i s t e d alphabetically twenty-four main headings a s follows: Antioxidants, Armed Forces, Bacteriological Studiee, Chemical Studies and Cmposition, Cookery, F a t s and O l l a, Freezing, Grades and Measuremente, Industry, Inspection, Marketing, Physical Composition, Processing, Production, Quality and Palatab i l i t y, Refrigeration, Sanitation, Serving, S t a t i s t i c s, Teaching, Tools and Equipment, and Miscellaneoue. Under most of these headings we have sub-headings a l s o alphabetized. For example, under general heading X I 1 e n t i t l e d phyai c a l compoeition we have included aub headings: Bone, Connective t i s s u e, Fatty tiseue, Lean, Methods, Skin, and Miscellaneous. 80 Again I want t o emphasize caution i n using t h e miscellaneous subject t h a t it w i l l not grow too large. This c l a e s i f l c a t i o n eyetem is not intended t o be a fixed l i s t i n g of materiala that i s not subject t o change, but it l e my Idea, with suggestions from other members of t h e research review committee, of a logical system which could be used aa a etandsrd f o r classifying eubject material. Some type of uniform c l a s s i f i c a t i o n w i l l be necessary if we a r e t o review l i t e r a t u r e i n an orderly f ~ e h i o nso t h a t a b s t r a c t e can be e a s i l y grouped f o r d i s t r i b u t i o n. I hope t h i e c l a s s i f i c a t i o n w i l l help meet t h a t need.

Tom Meyer of Washington S t a t e wae suppoeed t o be with ua t o present a paper on Methods of Indexing. He very kindly prepared the paper, and I am l i s t e d as t h e one t o give it. ###
