Abstract
This chapter discusses the principal mathematical bibliographies. Bibliographies are compilations of references to published literature on a particular place, person, or subject. They are produced as aids to book selection and literature searching and include sufficient information about each item to enable the inquirer to specify his requirements accurately either to a bookseller or to a librarian. This information consists of author, title, publisher, date and place of publication. Problems of finding information frequently occur in fields bordering one's own. This is especially so in mathematics. The mathematician often finds himself working as a specialist member of a team that may be engaged on a problem outside the range of his subject experience. It then becomes imperative for him to be able to find his way through the literature of the new subject. Many bibliographies of value to mathematicians have been produced to cover more specialized needs. The chapter also discusses the titles that have been selected both for their value as guides to mathematical bibliographies and as aids to orientating the inquirer in related fields.
