CHAPTER 7 - How to Trace Foreign and Subject Bibliographies, Library and Sale Catalogues, and Guides to Libraries

Abstract

This chapter highlights various sources to trace foreign and subject bibliographies, library and sale catalogues, and guides to libraries. Bibliographies of foreign literatures include the following works: A Critical Bibliography of German Literature in English Translation 1481-1927 with Supplement embracing the years 1928–1935, 2nd edition (1938), was edited by B. Q. Morgan. A Bibliographical Guide to the Romance Languages and Literatures by T. R. Palfrey and others has gone through several editions. A Critical Bibliography of French Literature (1947–) by D. C. Cabeen and J. Brody devotes a separate volume to each period. A Bibliographical Guide to Danish Literature (1951) was edited by P. M. Mitchell. Danish Literature in English Translation: a bibliography (1950) was compiled by E. Bredsdorff. The Classics in Translation (1930) by F. S. Smith is an annotated guide to the best translations of the Greek and Latin classics into English. In the Dewey Decimal Classification, catalogues are divided into three groups by type—subject, author, and dictionary. Each type is further subdivided by the type of owner—nonprivate, private, auctioneer, and bookseller.
