§ 701.27 - Service of scientific and technical materials.

(a) Readers requesting reference and bibliographic assistance in science and technology may consult the staff on duty in the Science Reading Room. Inquiries are referred when necessary to subject specialists in the Science and Technology Division. A special collection of technical reports is available in the Science Reading Room. Materials on science in the Library's subject-classified collections are also served in the Library's other general reading rooms.

(b) In answering requests for referral service, the Resources Analysis Section of the General Reading Rooms Division compiles names, addresses, telephone numbers, and brief descriptions of appropriate information resources, which may include professional societies, university research bureaus and institutes, Federal and State agencies, industrial laboratories, museums, testing stations, and individual experts as well as more traditional sources of information, such as technical libraries, information and document centers, and abstracting and indexing services.
