computers has greatly aided our ability to manage the enormous
amount of information involved. Management of the Handbook project

footnotes, and bibliographical references. A comprehensive cross-
reference index to these articles is being prepared, and correspon-
dence with the more than fifty advisory editors, hundreds of eval-
uators, and an estimated three thousand authors must he maintained.

tasks.
