Opis

The increasing flood of information and constantly changing carrier media and formats have led to a growing demand for orientation aids to help users get the information they want. Readers from specialist fields, librarians, archivists and information managers can all benefit from secondary bibliographies when selecting and evaluating bibliographies.

The Bibliographic Reports (Bibliographische Berichte), basis of the present bibliography, represented a convenient source of selection and rating criteria for research on information. Reviewing bibliographies from all over the world, the Bibliographical Reports also bear witness to the fact that information from outside the English-speaking world has increased in importance.

"The International Bibliography of Bibliographies" will make the complete data accessible in cumulated form: All records are presented in a consistent classification Records for serials and multi-volume works have been consolidated Comprehensive indexes allow optimal access

The period covered in the Bibliography carries on from that covered in Theodor Besterman's "A world bibliography of bibliographies" (4th ed., Lausanne, 1965-1966). The Bibliography can therefore serve as a supplement to the latter, and also fills in the gaps on recent bibliographies in electronic form.

The cumulative edition of this "International Bibliography of Bibliographies" will make it much easier to obtain the right data and will therefore be a welcome support to information managers and users.
