1978 annual index of current earthquake literature

In the past several years, earthquake research has been greatly accelerated in China, Japan, USSR, and the United States. Presently, about 2,500 earthquake-related publications (including meeting abstracts) are produced yearly. In order to keep up with this current literature, a computer based bibliographic system was implemented as part of a research project called "Worldwide Earthquake Research Databases" under the direction of W.H.K. Lee. This bibliographic system is called the Current Earthquake Literature (CEL) Database. From this database, a bi-monthly author index and annual index (including author, keyword and address listings) are prepared. Errors are unavoidable because there are large amounts of data entries. Any corrections from the readers are welcome.
