It isn't often in this highly technological environment that a new
reference book sees the light of day and becomes an instant
classic. Balay's Early Periodical Indexes is such a work. It is the
most comprehensive guide available to the indexing of periodical
literature from the 16th century until the end of the 19th century.
The material itself is widely scattered and difficult to find, and
until now there has been no systematic way to even identify it.
This extraordinarily useful tool lists and describes titles in a
wide range of disciplines. Balay has included indexes published
prior to 1900 that are restricted to periodicals (such as Poole's),
and those published later (such as Wellesley), as well as serial
and topical bibliographies citing publications in all formats-and
he explains the relationships among them. The scope is limited to
European languages. Electronic databases, both Web-based and
CD-ROMs, are included. Four indexes-author, title, topical
subjects, and dates of coverage-provide access. This is a landmark
resource, one that will become a familiar sight in every research
library.
