The following guidelines are intended to help readers to find their way through the present International Bibliography of Dictionaries, Glossaries and Terminological Publications, and consequently to find the appropriate information promptly, reliably and as completely as possible.

The dictionaries and vocabularies listed in this publication are divided into the following ten groups, according to the Oxford System of Decimal Classification for Forestry:

0 Forests, Forestry and the Utilization of Forest Products

1 Factors of the Environment. Biology

2 Silviculture

3 Work Science (Work Studies). Harvesting of Wood: Logging and Transport. Forest Engineering

4 Forest Injuries and Protection

5 Forest Mensuration

6 Forest Management

7 Marketing of Forest Products. Economics of Forest Transport and the Wood Industries

8 Forest Products and their Utilization

9 Forests and Forestry from the National Point of View.

Within each group the numbered entries are listed in alphabetical order by author or publishing body.

Each bibliographical entry under these ten main groups is headed by a number. This current entry number is cross-referenced with the entries in the two indexes at the end of the Bibliography: Index of Authors, p. 43 and Index of Languages, p. 46
