= '''What is Transdex?'''  =

The Transdex Index was an index to translations into English by the Joint Publications Research Service. The JPRS is a part of the U. S. Central Intelligence Agency and the largest single source of translations in the world. Transdex indexes selected articles and documents from all regions of the world and covers a broad range of subject matter. Annual index volumes for 1984 to 1996 are on microfiche and are shelved in Gov Docs Ref AI3 T7. The translations are divided into the following major geographic series and currently shelved under a PrEx7.13: call number in the microfiche cabinets in our Government Documents area on the main floor of the Davis Family Library:

PrEx7.13:JPRS-AKU East Asia: Korea<br> PrEx7.13:JPRS-ATC East Asia: Vietnam<br> PrEx7.13:JPRS-CAR China <br> PrEx7.13:JPRS-CEN China: Energy<br> PrEx7.13:JPRS-CST China: Science &amp; Technology<br> PrEx7.13:JPRS-EER East Europe<br> PrEx7.13:JPRS-EST Europe: Science &amp; Technology<br> PrEx7.13:JPRS-JST Japan: Science &amp; Technology<br> PrEx7.13:JPRS-KAR Korea:<br> PrEx7.13:JPRS-KST Korea: Science &amp; Technology<br> PrEx7.13:JPRS-LAM Latin America<br> PrEx7.13:JPRS-MON Mongolia<br> PrEx7.13:JPRS-NEA Near East &amp; South Asia<br> PrEx7.13:JPRS-SEA Southeast Asia<br> PrEx7.13:JPRS-SSA Sub-Saharan Africa<br> PrEx7.13:JPRS-TAC Arms Control<br> PrEx7.13:JPRS-TDD Narcotics<br> PrEx7.13:JPRS-TEN Environmental Issues<br> PrEx7.13:JPRS-TEP Epidemiology<br> PrEx7.13:JPRS-TND Proliferation Issues<br> PrEx7.13:JPRS-TST Third World: Science &amp; Technology<br> PrEx7.13:JPRS-TTP Telecommunications<br> PrEx7.13:JPRS-UUA Soviet Union: Peoples of Asia &amp; Africa<br> PrEx7.13:JPRS-UAC Soviet Union: Aviation &amp; Cosmonautics<br> PrEx7.13:JPRS-UCC Soviet Union: Science &amp; Technology<br> PrEx7.13:JPRS-UCH Soviet Union: Science &amp; Technology: Chemistry<br> PrEx7.13:JPRS-UEA Soviet Union: Economic Affairs<br> PrEx7.13:JPRS-UEE Soviet Union: Electronics &amp; Electrical Engineering<br> PrEx7.13:JPRS-UEQ Soviet Union: Engineering and Equipment<br> PrEx7.13:JPRS-UES Soviet Union: Earth Science<br> PrEx7.13:JPRS-UFM Soviet Union: Foreign Military Review<br> PrEx7.13:JPRS-UMA Soviet Union: Military Affairs<br> PrEx7.13:JPRS-UMJ Soviet Union: Military History Journal<br> PrEx7.13:JPRS-UMS Soviet Union: Science &amp; Technology: Materials Science<br> PrEx7.13:JPRS-UMT Soviet Union: Military Thought<br> PrEx7.13:JPRS-UPA Soviet Union: Political Affairs<br> PrEx7.13:JPRS-UPM Soviet Union: Science &amp; Technology: Physics &amp; Mathematics<br> PrEx7.13:JPRS-USA Soviet Union: USA: Economics, Politics, Ideology<br> PrEx7.13:JPRS-USP Soviet Union: Soviet Union: Space<br> PrEx7.13:JPRS-USS Soviet Union: Sociological Studies<br> PrEx7.13:JPRS-UST Soviet Union: Science &amp; Technology: Policy <br> PrEx7.13:JPRS-UWE Soviet Union: World Economy<br> PrEx7.13:JPRS-WER West Europe<br><br> From 1981 to mid-1989 these reports were classified under call numbers ranging from PrEx7.14: to PrEx7.21: and from mid-1979 to mid-1981 reports were classified in PrEx7.13: call numbers. We have translations predating mid-1979 for several regions of the world and they are classified in Y3.J66:13/ call numbers, but they are not indexed.<br>

The latest monthly index is usually about four months behind the current month and the microfiche reports of most of these series run about a year behind the current month.

== '''Searching the Index'''  ==

Start with the keyword index on the white pages of the printed monthly indexes or microfiche with "Keyword" in the header of the annual microfiche cumulation. There is also a name index in the back of each issue.

If you identify any useful reports write down the JPRS number and page given in the entry and then go to the yellow pages in the front of the monthly printed indexes to obtain the call number to find the report in our microfiche cabinets. The "Introduction" microfiche of the annual microfiche cumulation provides the call number used for these series in earlier years.

== '''To use the microfiche'''  ==

Go to the microfiche cabinets along the wall on the east side of the Government Documents area and look for microfiche with call numbers obtained from the index. Then find the microfiche for the date indicated in the index. Place the microfiche in the Canon 400 microfiche reader-printer and advance to the page reference given. Return microfiche in envelopes to the box marked "Refile by Staff" on top of the microfiche cabinets.
