Chicorel Index to Mentai Health Book Reviews, 1976 Annual; an Annotated Guide to Books and Book Reviews in the Behavioral Sciences

摘要

Is this the index that we have waited for, we who were contributors to as well as users and admirers of its predecessor, the Mental Health Book Review Index? I think not. The MHBRI, as we call it, ceased after the 1972 edition with the death in 1974 of its devoted editor Ilse Bry. Since then, mental health librarians have talked about trying to continue this work, but they soon realized that without the enthusiastic bibliographical acuity, the meticulous scholarship, and the patient self-sacrificing dedication of an Ilse Bry, it would be too hard to do. Perhaps a computer programmed by a genius could continue and even keep the index up-todate.
