The increasing flood of information and constantly changing carrier
media and formats have led to a growing demand for orientation aids
to help users get the information they want. Readers from
specialist fields, librarians, archivists and information managers
can all benefit from secondary bibliographies when selecting and
evaluating bibliographies.
The Bibliographic Reports (Bibliographische Berichte), basis of
the present bibliography, represented a convenient source of
selection and rating criteria for research on information.
Reviewing bibliographies from all over the world, the
Bibliographical Reports also bear witness to the fact that
information from outside the English-speaking world has increased
in importance.
"The International Bibliography of Bibliographies" will make the
complete data accessible in cumulated form: All records are
presented in a consistent classification Records for serials and
multi-volume works have been consolidated Comprehensive indexes
allow optimal access
The period covered in the Bibliography carries on from that
covered in Theodor Besterman's "A world bibliography of
bibliographies" (4th ed., Lausanne, 1965-1966). The Bibliography
can therefore serve as a supplement to the latter, and also fills
in the gaps on recent bibliographies in electronic form.
The cumulative edition of this "International Bibliography of
Bibliographies" will make it much easier to obtain the right data
and will therefore be a welcome support to information managers and
users.
