Marckworth, M. Lois.
M. Lois Marckworth DISSERTATIONS IN PHYSICS collection, 1959-1963.
Computer punch cards, production notes, and correspondence. The great bulk of the collection is the computer cards used to compile and sort the contents of Marckworth's 1961 book, DISSERTATIONS IN PHYSICS, an indexed bibliography of all (over 8,000) doctoral dissertations in physics accepted by universities in the United States from 1861 to 1959. The cards indicate the author, title, year, university, and availability of each dissertation. The cards were also used to create the key word in context index (KWIC). The production notes (1959-1961) include outlines of the entire project, keypunching instructions, an indexing guide, galley proofs of the alphabetical listings, and index. The correspondence (1959-1963) consists of multiple form letters of enquiry used to obtain the raw material for the book from the universities granting doctoral degrees. Also included in the correspondence are user survey cards, a brief evaluation of the book by purchasers, reviews from technical journals, and evaluations from scientific societies.
