"Selection for indexing by two international bibliographies in the humanities demonstrates the superb quality of scholarship already to be found in
Brief Chronicles,” stated Goldstein. “Since this selection comes immediately upon publication of our inaugural issue,” he added, “it is
clear we have met the high standard expected of the scholarly community
on an international level.”
The MLA International Bibliography is the most widely distributed
humanities database, being the pre-eminent reference work in the fields
of literature, language, linguistics, folklore, ethno-musicology, and
teaching. It is compiled by the staff of the MLA Office of Bibliographic
Information Services with the cooperation of more than 100 contributing
bibliographers in the United States and abroad. The /MLA International
Bibliography/ annually indexes over 66,000 books and articles, lists
over 1.5 million citations, and is available worldwide in print, on
CD-ROM and online at www.mla.org/bibliography.
The World Shakespeare Bibliography is sponsored by the Folger
Shakespeare Library in Washington, D.C., edited by Professor James
Harner at Texas A&M University, and published by Johns Hopkins
University Press. The online version is located at www.worldshakesbib.org.
The World Shakespeare Bibliography provides annotated entries for all
important books, articles, book reviews, dissertations, theatrical
productions, reviews of productions, audiovisual materials, electronic
media, and other scholarly and popular materials related to Shakespeare
published or produced between 1960 and 2010. The scope is international,
extending to more than 120 languages. The more than 123,496 records in
the 2009 edition cite several hundred thousand additional reviews of
books, productions, films, and audio recordings. |
