CHAPTER XIX 

 THE LITERATURE OF ANIMAL PARASITOLOGY 



TECHNICAL SUGGESTIONS 



Local conditions and facilities must determine the most suitable 

 place in the course for this practicum and the library materials to be 

 used. It is suggested that the various texts, indices, and journals 

 be shown and their use discussed in the laboratory period and that the 

 problems be assigned for report at the following period. 



In the assignment of problems a check should be made in order to 

 insure that they can be answered from available facilities. 



There should be insistance upon a standard form of citation, whether 

 it be that given as an example or some other approved form. 



PRACTICAL WORK 



One of the chief objectives of a college course is that of affording 

 a key to the stores of past and current information on the subject. 

 Especially in a rapidly growing field, such as parasitology, a 

 knowledge of methods of keeping in touch with present-day 

 work is essential. It is the object of the present practicum to 

 give an introduction to the literature of animal parasitology and 

 to call attention to important bibliographic aids. 



Examine the publications available in the following groups, 

 and make the report indicated. Follow carefully the procedure 

 suggested by your instructor. 



A. Textbooks. — Examine the textbooks of animal parasit- 

 ology on exhibit and list at least one each of American, German, 

 and French publication, according to author, date, title, edition 

 if more than first, number of pages, publisher, and place of 

 publication. Example: 



Chandler, A. C, 1926. "Animal Parasites and Human Disease," 3d 

 ed., xiii + 573 pp. John Wiley & Sons, Inc., New York. 



B. Periodicals. — In this group will be placed certain of the 

 important publications dealing extensively with parasitology. 

 List at least three of these, giving title, volume number, year, 

 publisher, and address. Look over carefully one number of each
