PRINTED AND ONLINE BIBLIOGRAPHIES FOR ENGLISH LITERARY STUDIES: A DECADE OF CHANGE

Abstract

The last decade has witnessed considerable changes in the nature and range of the general current bibliographies which serve the student of English literature. The development of an online database for modern languages and literature, including English, has added a new dimension to bibliographical provision. One entirely new printed service has been introduced and existing printed bibliographies have been significantly modified. Librarians are among the main purchasers of these materials and are also called upon to advise on their value and use. The present article surveys the developments which have taken place and seeks to identify the particular value of each work as a contribution to the bibliographical control of newly published materials in this field.
