Bibliography and Bibliometrics: An Overview

Bibliography is a specialized aspect of library science and documentation science.
The field of bibliography was established by Paul Otlet as a branch of the information sciences.
There are claims that the bibliographical paradigm is obsolete, but it is still influential in LIS.
Bibliometrics, a quantitative study of bibliographies, is an influential subfield in LIS.
Bibliography is described as a twofold scholarly discipline - enumerative and descriptive bibliography.
W. W. Greg, Fredson Bowers, Philip Gaskell, and G. Thomas Tanselle are innovators in the field.
Analytical bibliography investigates the printing and physical features of a book, providing evidence of its history.
Descriptive bibliographers follow specific conventions and associated classification in their description.
Bibliographic study is composed of four interdependent approaches: enumerative, descriptive, analytical, and textual.
There are two further subcategories of research: historical bibliography and aesthetic bibliography.
Bibliographic works differ in the amount of detail and can be divided into enumerative and analytical/critical bibliography.
Enumerative bibliography is a systematic list of books and other works based on a unifying principle such as creator, subject, date, topic, or other characteristic.

Bibliography: An Overview

Bibliography is a branch of library science and documentation science, established by Paul Otlet, focusing on comparing versions of texts rather than interpreting their meaning.
The quantitative study of bibliographies, known as bibliometrics, is influential in library and information science and is used for major collection decisions.
Bibliography is described as a twofold scholarly discipline, involving the organized listing of books (enumerative bibliography) and the systematic description of books as physical objects (descriptive bibliography).
Enumerative bibliography identifies books in specific collections or libraries, while descriptive bibliography systematically describes a book as a physical artifact.
Analytical bibliography investigates the printing and physical features of a book to establish its history and transmission, providing the basis for descriptive bibliographers' practice.
Descriptive bibliographers follow specific conventions and associated classification in their description, transcribing titles and title pages in a quasi-facsimile style.
The study of bibliography is composed of four interdependent approaches: enumerative, descriptive, analytical, and textual, with two further subcategories of research: historical bibliography and aesthetic bibliography.
D. F. McKenzie broadened the scope of bibliography to include non-book texts and their material form, production, and reception processes.
Bibliographic works can generally be divided into two categories: enumerative bibliography, resulting in an overview of publications in a particular category, and analytical or critical bibliography, studying the production of books.
Enumerative bibliographies are systematic lists of books and other works, ranging from "works cited" lists to complete and independent publications, often considered tertiary sources.
Bibliographical works cover various media, including audio recordings, motion pictures, videos, graphic objects, databases, CD-ROMs, and websites.
A library catalog, while not referred to as a "bibliography," is bibliographic in nature and based on a unifying principle such as creator, subject, date, topic, or other characteristic.
