INTRODUCTION
Recycling is not a new concept, but the idea of recycling in business and
industry is being discovered and promoted with great vigor. Both money and
materials can be saved by recycling. It challenges one's imagination to find
ways of reusing instead of throwing away. In fact new and exciting products
have been developed by grinding, melting, shaping metals, minerals and other
materials which would have been discarded.
The theme for the Metals/Materials Division of Special Libraries Association
1972 Conference program is Recycling/Reclaiming Metals/faaterials. The idea
of a bibliography on the theme was suggested to Ruth Seidman and Lee Cast/row.
Research started on the project early in 1972. Members of the M/M Division have
also made worthwhile contributions.
This bibliography will initially be distributed to members of the Metals/
Materials Division of the Special Libraries Association at the 63rd Annual
Conference in Boston, Massachusetts.

PREFACE
Recycling of metals and materials has as its purpose the easing of two major
environmental crises. Fist, we re-utilize scarce and non-renewable resources.
Second, solid waste disposal problems can be alleviated.
Industry has long been concerned with reclaiming its own waste products, and is
now beginning to respond to the need for dealing with municipal waste disposal
problems. Cities are faced with expensive disposal programs; dumps are ugly
and unsanitary; land for dumping is in short supply. Large-scale recycling of
industrial and municipal wastes is a hopeful 'approach both to the resource
and the solid waste disposal dilemma.
Since recycling is currently an important research and development area, a
bibliography on this subject should be useful to special librarians in the
metals and materials field. Included is a. selection of research reports,
articles, and books, as well as industry and government brochures on the topic.
