The bibliography is divided into two major sections. The first major section is devoted to the author and bibliography information. The authors are arranged in three subsections. The first subsection dealing with reports is arranged alphabetically by corporate author. The second subsection covering journal citations and the third subsection covering books are arranged alphabetically by the first personal author. Each entry in the bibliographic portion of this work includes corporate author when given, title, personal authors, date, pagination, publisher, journal identification when applicable, and report number.

Each item is given an accession number unique to the bibliography. (Author).

Each entry in the subject index appears under the subject heading with full title and the unique accession number. This accession number can be matched with the accession number in the bibliographic section for full identification of the item.
