CATALOGUES AND BIBLIOGRAPHIES OF PERIODICALS: A SURVEY OF THE MORE IMPORTANT WORKS PUBLISHED IN THE BRITISH COMMONWEALTH AND THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA SINCE 1945

In writing about reference books it is difficult to recommend one rather than another unless one knows the exact purpose for which it is needed. This article, therefore, is a survey of the contents and scope of some important catalogues, union lists, and bibliographies of periodicals, and does not attempt to say that one is better or more useful than another. Each librarian can only decide that for himself.
