Guides and Bibliographies

Guides to the literature and other bibliographies include references to sources that are selected for their usefulness to a topic or discipline. Some are annotated critically to denote the authoritativeness of the sources listed. Some contain bibliographic essays--essays discussing the import of the resources described; while others include chapters or sections on specific research methods and/or library-related search strategies. Some bibliographies are devoted to specific formats of sources, such as serials (magazines, journals, newspapers, annuals, etc.).
