A present-day example: 20 per cent of the whole book stock, or more than 250,000 volumes, of the library of the Kiel Institut für Weltwirtschaft derives from the exchange of publications. See p. 7 of the library of the institute's 1977 Report. 4. Such cooperation can be traced back to 1902, when the plan for an international bibliography of the social sciences was put forward, on the one hand, by the International Bibliography Institute in Brussels, and, on the other, by the Hungarian Gyula Mandello and Ervin Szabó. 5. Such interrelationship has repeatedly been examined by ad hoc teams set up by Unesco. See also footnote 2 on page 265. 6. The Socialist Republic of Viet Nam has recently joined the system. 7.
