V The Central Embryological Library
A The reprint library
During the next two years the reprint library, at present comprising about
25.000 titles, will be subjected to an internal reorganisation. This will include
some adaptive changes in the system of classification, which will make it
practically identical to that to be used henceforth in the "General Embryological
Information Service" (cf. the Introduction of the present issue). It is hoped to
finish this project before moving into the new building.
B Services rendered by the C.E.L.; loan conditions

.
Every embryologist can ask for information about literature of
certain authors, for surveys of literature on certain subjects (according to
the classification-system of the G.E.I.S.), for surveys of newly published
literature, etc.
2. Every embryologist can borrow reprints which are not available
in his own country. Books and Normal Tables are usually not given on
loan, volumes of periodicals are only lent to investigators in the Nether-
lands.
Conditions:
a. Reprints may be borrowed for 3 months at the most (for the
Netherlands 1 month), time for shipment not included.
b. The receipt added to the consignment must be returned by return
of post, after having been controlled and signed.
c. In case of high forwarding charges these have to be partly carried by
the applicant.
3. Every embryologist can personally consult the C.E.L. at all
times.
4. The C.E.L. will be at the disposal of every embryologist working at the
Hubrecht Laboratory.
