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 £15 (£20 for Australasia, the Far East and the Pacific).
