Largesse: National Union Catalog
HISTNEUR-Lers (especially in New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut): If your special collections library does not have the NUC, here is an opportunity to get it for the cost of moving (which probably means renting a truck and a couple of students and going to Brooklyn to retrieve this HUGE reference work; shipping would cost several hundred if not thousands of dollars). This is an invaluable, nearly irreplacable resource, which won't be online soon (and the microfilm edition is not an entirely usable alternative). Jump at this opportunity--email John Martin and see if the set is still available (you can use my name as a reference--tell him I, and archivist, forwarded the message from the "ARCHIVES" list to the history of neuroscience listserv).

The recipient must arrange for shipping and handling.
