Coverage:
In 1970, the previous indexes would merge to form the Transdex.
This index was published first monthly and followed with a cumulative
semi-annual issue. The McKeldin Library collection retained only the
semi-annual issues. The index covers all publications from all
geographic locations but is not separated geographically in the way as
previous indexes.
Arrangement:
This index includes the following:
- Serial and ad hoc titles index – a listing of all serials and ad hoc (singular materials) indexed in that issue
- Country index – a listing of countries and related JPRS documents
- Subject index – an arrangement of major subjects, followed by subcategories, each with a listing of related JPRS documents
- Publications' index – a listing of each publication with corresponding dates
- Author index – all authors translated in that issue of the Transdex
- Bibliographic listing – a complete list of all documents for that issue in JPRS order
Access:
All entries in each different type of index contain a JPRS number.
From all indexes, use the JPRS number and refer to the Bibliographic
Listing. The bibliography indicates a microfilm reel number and
microfiche sheet number. The McKeldin Library collection only holds the
microfilm reels covered in this index. Each microfilm reel number
contains a country code and then a number. "Microfilm Reel R313" is for
the Soviet Union, Reel No. 313. The codes are as follows and correspond
to the following call numbers for the reels:
