Celebrated 60 years of publication last year!

This is the current awareness bulletin for technical literature in the mineral industry. Published quarterly, IMM Abstracts is the hard copy version of the IMMAGE database. It provides a useful alternative for those who like to keep up to date with the technical literature in their field by browsing through a printed journal organised by broad subject areas, rather than by searching electronically for specific topics.

* Prices inclusive of p&p to UK and Europe; subscribers outside Europe who wish to receive their copies of IMM Abstracts by air mail should add a surcharge of £20.

 

IMMAGE on CD was discontinued in January 2010
