SWEDISH CATALOGUES AND BIBLIOGRAPHIES OF PERIODICALS

Ib her article about catalogues and bibliographies of periodicals in the September 1958 issue of the Journal of Documentation, Muriel E. Hammond writes (p. 127): ‘It has not been possible to locate all the Scandinavian bibliographies known to have been published.’ She cites from Denmark three publications, from Finland two, from Norway three, but from Sweden only one. This is a pity, because Sweden can show several important union lists and bibliographies of periodicals—more in fact than the other Scandinavian countries—and, what is more important, some of these raise some fundamental questions regarding union catalogues in general. This is why I should here like to give some information supplementary to her article.
