_Lesson 8._
COMPILATION OF BIBLIOGRAPHIES.
Principles of arrangement, will differ with each type of bibliography.
Six methods of arrangement. An author bibliography best arranged
chronologically by dates of publication, supplemented with subject and
title indexes. For a subject bibliography the best arrangement may
be classified, with an alphabetical index to authors and subjects.
The best bibliography is arranged and indexed so that its contents
may be found from the point of view of author, title, subject, place,
or personal names. The student should examine as many bibliographies
as possible, and note their arrangements. He should also possess a
thorough knowledge of the practical methods of compiling bibliographies.
