Because the ramifications of these changes may affect many of its operations* the Department of Labor has taken an active role in research work in this field* The U* S* Department of Labor's Bureau of Labor Statistics in presenting this bibliography seeks to enable research workers to make use of the growing volume of published material concerning the progress of automatic technology and its social and economic effects* It is planned as a research tool for economists* union and management officials* labor relations experts* journal ists* university teachers* and students. It was compiled as part of the Bureau's research program on productivity trends and current technological developments. By fostering research in this area* the Department of Labor seeks to promote a better understanding of this increasingly important force in the American economy. Scope and Limitations The bibliography lists 35>9 references. These references consist of periodical articles* books* reports* speeches* pamphlets* conference pro ceedings* and other readily available materials. They present more or less nontechnical descriptions of the operations of automated equipment in business and industry* analyses of the conditions for their use* and discussions of the implications for labor* management* government* and the economy. The sources searched in compiling the bibliography included the reference files of materials in the Bureau's Division of Productivity and Technological Developments; the Department of Labor Library; and the Scientific Library of the U. S. Patent Office. The industrial Arts Index and the Labor Personnel Index were consulted for listings of periodical articles on the subjects covered* ii The broad standard far selecting references was their value to persons primarily interested in the social and economic aspects of current developments in automation* Technical material addressed chiefly to engineers was excluded* For the most part, the references selected were published during 1955 and the first 5 months of 1 9 5 6 * A number of important books and articles published earlier, however, are also included* Special efforts have been made to cover the most significant contributions and to limit repetition* No attempt has been made to include items from the daily press or to cover the literature published in other countries. Materials on general subjects related to automation, such as technological changes, and productivity statistics, are considered outside the scope of the bibliography* In view of the large volume of published material on the subjects covered, it is highly probable that some important references may have been overlooked. Every effort will be made in future revised editions to incorporate omissions that are brought to the Bureau's attention* Using the Bibliography To facilitate the most effective use of the bibliography, special at tention is directed to certain features that were incorporated to assist researchers* Subject Matter Divisions: References are classified under lib broad subdivisions of the general subject* When a reference relates to more than one subdivision, it is listed only once, under the division to which a major portion of the article, book, etc*, relates* Alphabetical Arrangement of Titles: References within each subdivision are arranged alphabetically by title* The titles of books, pamphlets, papers, and speeches are underlined* In the citation of periodical articles, the name of the periodical is underlined. Brief Annotations: To give the user the gist of the subjects covered, each reference is briefly annotated, but no evaluation of the reference is intended* Index to Authors: Appendix A presents an alphabetical listing of the names of authors, with the numbers of all references cited in the bibli ography, Writers of articles that are included in collections are not listed unless these articles have been shown separately* - iii - Index to Subjectst Appendix B presents an alphabetical listing of subjects with the numbers of all references related to them. Where a refer ence is related to mare than one subject, it is cited under each subject. Lists of Periodicals and Publishers: Users of this bibliography should write directly to the periodical or publisher concerning any item listed. Appendixes C and D present the names and addresses of all periodicals and publishing firms cited in the bibliography. The Bureau of Labor Statistics cannot provide reprints of articles, etc., except those prepared in the Bureau itself. This bibliography was planned and prepared by Edgar Weinberg of the Bureau's Division of Productivity and Technological Developments. Herman J. Rothberg assisted in compiling and annotating the references.
