• Hints for understanding the Transactions of the AIME. (See the CAT record to locate this series.) The American Institute of Mining, Metallurgical, and Petroleum Engineers is an umbrella organization for several societies including the Society of Mining Engineers, the Society of Petroleum Engineers, and others. The contents and contributions to the transactions series has changed over the years. For many years, even volumes contained papers from the Society of Mining Engineers; odd volumes held Society of Petroleum Engineers papers. Each volume contains selected papers from SME/SPE journals or conference proceedings. One confusing aspect of the Transactions is that the pagination was retained from the original place these articles appeared, leading to cases of duplicate page numbers. Without the table of contents, a user is lost.
