Excerpt from Sources of Information in the American Graphic Arts Just as the doctor or lawyer must read, observe and listen to keep up with the developments in his profession, so the graphic arts stu dent, teacher, craftsman, or consumer must to follow the changes in the graphic arts field adequately. Since processes and equipment are continually changing and improving, it is imperative that sources of information pertinent both to every day questions and to future problems be readily available to persons affected by these changes. Each month at the Carnegie Institute of Technology printing department we receive requests for information from persons in all phases of the graphic arts. This leads us to the conclusion that the tre mendons mass of detail which constitutes graphic arts knowledge either is confusing or is difficult to retain. Therefore, rather than to expect retention of details and yet to clarify confusing points, what is needed is to incorporate source locations under one cover so that these sources may be readily investigated by anyone in the graphic arts. It is difficult enough to arouse and maintain professional interest without adding the obstacle of hidden source materials.
