Theatre Design & Technology - Fall 1978 - 37

----------018TT
Last October, the OISTT Publications Commission, meeting in
Budapest, passed a motion calling for the exchange of journals and
information among member nations. To implement that motion in the
United States, the International Liaison Committee of USITT has
asked TD&T to establish a regular department for publishing the
contents and article abstracts of foreign journals. Most foreign journals already do so. A t present, the editors of TD& T receive seven
foreign journals with some regularity and the contents of the most
recent issues in our possession are printed below. In the future we
would like to publish abstracts of significant articles but in order to do
so we need volunteer translators, and ask that USITT members with a
reading knowledge of the appropriate languages (especially the
Eastern European ones), and with an interest in helping, please
contact uS.-eds.
