INSTRUCTIONS FOR OBTAINING PUBLICATIONS

The Forest Products Laboratory is charged with the responsibility for effec-tively disseminating the results of Laboratory research. To do this theLaboratory, in the interest of efficiency and economy, attempts to follow thepolicy of "the right publication in the right place" rather than a scattergunmethod. The information below is offered in the hope that it will help inter-ested persons to use Laboratory publications.

Publications available for distribution at this Laboratory are marked with anasterisk (*). The listing of other titles without an asterisk is intended onlyto indicate reference material that may be consulted in the Library at theForest Products Laboratory or in other libraries. No obligation is assumed bythe Laboratory to furnish microfilms, photostats, or other reproductions ofthose articles not preceded by an asterisk.

Single copies of technical notes, reprints, and processed reports may be obtainedfree upon request from the Director, Forest Products Laboratory, Madison 5, Wis.

Federal Government bulletins, circulars, and leaflets, if not available for freedistribution at this Laboratory, may be purchased at the price indicated in thepublication itself from the Superintendent of Documents, Government PrintingOffice, Washington 25, D.C. Send money order, draft, or cash (stamps or personalchecks are not accepted) with your order. Even in cases where single copiesof Federal Government publications (those printed at the Government PrintingOffice) are available at the Laboratory free, large quantities for wholesaledistribution should be ordered from the Superintendent of Documents.

The Forest Products Laboratory reserves the right to furnish only those publi-cations which, in the judgment of the Laboratory staff, will give the informationrequested. Blanket requests or requests for free copies of a large number ofany individual item will not ordinarily be filled, especially in the case ofrequests from sources outside the United States.

NOTE: Since Forest Products Laboratory publications are so varied in subjectmatter no single big list is issued. Instead a list is made up for eachLaboratory division. Twice a year, December 31 and June 30, a list is madeup showing new reports for the previous 6 months. This is the only itemsent regularly to the Laboratory's mailing list. Anyone who has asked forand received the proper subject lists and who has had his name placed on themailing list can keep up to date on Forest Products Laboratory publications.Each subject list carries descriptions of all other subject lists.
