Following on from Bibliographic Index, a reference classic for over 60 years, H. W.
Wilson's Bibliographic Index Plus on WilsonWeb includes bibliographies from
journals across a broad range of disciplines, in-depth indexing of more than 530,000
bibliographies published in English, German, Dutch, and the Scandinavian, Slavic,
and Romance languages, and over 185,000 full-text bibliographies.
A review of the existing literature is the first task in any serious research project. This is
best accomplished by consulting published bibliographies, which are an essential
component of the academic and monograph literature. Access to library catalogs,
bibliographic utilities, or the Internet is a poor substitute for carefully compiled
bibliographies.
|
Bibliographic Index Plus on WilsonWeb delivers those bibliographies in one
comprehensive, easy-to-use database, which is unique among library tools for its range
of bibliographic sources and the variety of subjects it covers. This includes
-
exhaustive monograph-length bibliographies, bibliographies appended to
scholarly monographs, and literature reviews in periodicals
-
a range of subject areas, particularly in the humanities and social sciences, but
also in science and technology
-
strong coverage in foreign language material, biographical material,
bibliographies of work by individual authors, and even narrow and specialized
subjects
-
full text of over 185,000 bibliographies from over 2,000 journals covered by other
