Library science -- Outlines, syllabi, etc.
For the various kinds of bibliographies see Mudge’s “New guide
to reference books” (or Kroeger’s “Guide to study and use of
reference books”), Stewart _and_ Clarke’s “Book selection,” “List of
bibliographical works in the Reading Room of the British Museum,”
Brown’s “Manual of practical bibliography,” and Gross’s “List of
books and articles chiefly bibliographical, designed to serve as an
introduction to the bibliography and methods of English literary
history.” The Universal bibliographies by Brunet, British Museum,
Burger, Ebert, Graesse, Hain, Maittaire, Panzer, Peddie, Pellechet,
Proctor, Watt, etc.
For a comprehensive list of National bibliographies of 49 countries
_see_ Peddie’s “National bibliographies: a descriptive catalogue of the
works which register the books published in each country.” _London,
Grafton, 1912._ _Add the_ United States Catalog: books in print to
January, 1912; edited by M. E. Potter and others, and the Cumulative
book index. _White Plains, New York, Wilson, 1898-1922. Vols. 1-24._
(These two are not included in Peddie’s work;) also the New York State
Library. Selected National bibliographies. _3rd edition. Albany.
University of the State of New York, 1915. (Library School Bulletin,
No. 38). 10c._
The following trade bibliographies should be noted:--American catalogue
of books, Book auction records, Publishers’ trade list annual, United
States Catalogue, Livingstone (America). Arber, Book prices current,
British Science Guild, English catalogue of books, Growoll, Whitaker,
etc. (English); Catalogue Annuel. Lorenz, etc. (France); Heinrich,
Heinsius, Kayser, etc. (Germany); For general bibliographies the most
important are Sonnenschein’s “Best books,” Nelson’s “Standard books,”
Gray’s “Books that count,” Robertson’s “Courses of study”; and for
American books, the A.L.A. book list, 1905 to date.
A mere acquaintance with the titles of the bibliographies etc., will
be of little service. Students must know the general scope, method of
arrangement, standpoint, and comparative usefulness of each. It must be
remembered also that many of our best bibliographies and guides appear
in the Latin, French, and German languages.
