Study Notes
Subject Bibliographies
- A subject bibliography is a book or pamphlet that contains bibliographic listings of works about a single subject.
- It covers all the books, periodicals, pamphlets, journals, and works in other languages on a specific topic.
- The subject might be an area of literature, a person, or a time in history, with endless potential topic areas.
Characteristics of Subject Bibliographies
- They are different from regular bibliographies found at the end of a book or research paper.
- They contain bibliographic information about everything of quality that's ever been written about a topic.
- The works collected are generally thought of as the best available materials on the topic.
Examples of Subject Bibliographies
- Ouditt, Sharon. Women Writers of the First World War: An Annotated Bibliography. New York: Routledge, 2000. Print.
- Kistler, J. (2000) Animal rights: A subject guide, bibliography, and internet companion. Westport, CT: Greenwood.
Problems with Subject Bibliographies
- They can become quickly out of date due to new works being constantly published.
- This is especially true of subject bibliographies in the fields of software, engineering, and computer technology.
- The materials listed aren't always easy to find, and reference librarians can help locate publications.
