MLAIB and ABELL: Periodische Fachbibliographien, CD-ROM- und Online-Datenbanken zur Anglistik by Jost Hindersmann (review)

1062 Reviews take it from A to Z. But it is safe to presume that most readers would wish to dip or, more likely,plunge into this scholarly yet user-friendly work. University of Exeter Anne Serfaty MLAIB and ABELL: Periodische Fachbibliographien, CD-ROM- und Online-Datenbanken zur Anglistik. By Jost Hindersmann. (Anglistik/Amerikanistik, 4) Miinster, Hamburg, and London: LIT. 1997. 93 pp. ?10.90. 'To see oursel' as others see us' is always salutary and, in this instance, not too traumatic either. Hindersmann, as part of his professional training in librarianship, sets out to compare, from the point of view of students and scholars working on literature in English, the Modern Language Association ofAmerica's International Bibliography and the Modern Humanities Research Association's Annual Bibliography of English Language and Literature. Clear, careful, and cautious, he provides much practical information and a useful analysis. The publishers of the two bibliographies might well consider his observationsat thisjuncture when vast numbers ofscholarly publications are appearing each year and when the means and methods of electronic information storage and retrieval are also being continuously enhanced. Though MLAIB used to have the advantage of appearing more promptly after the end of the report year, ABELL has been catching up since Hindersmann made his investigations. In both bibliographies the relatively high percentage of material bearing earlier dates is as often a reflection of belated publication as it is of tardiness in collecting material. Though assigning writers to centuries throws up anomalies that are no doubt likely to become more acute as life expectancy improves, ABELL's single alphabetical listing of the authors from a given period avoids the delicate problems confronting MLAIB as it strives to allocate them to various subgroupings. On the basis of spot checks Hindersmann finds, despite substantial overlap in coverage, differences significant enough to persuade him that the best course for users is to consult both. This prag? matic advice is sound, but some may be prompted to wonder whether co-operation would not serve the scholarly community better than more or less parallel endeavours. The time appears ripe for doing so particularly because contemporary reorientations in literary studies are tending to shift the focus of attention away from individual authors. Hindersmann gives an interesting account of modern ways of gaining access to a wide range of material from bibliographies. Impressive as electronic techniques are in theory, they nevertheless depend in practice on the quality of data extracted from the scholarly sources and made available for retrieval. Though much has al? ready been done, particularly by MLAIB, the task for bibliographers in the future remains formidable, no less in the conscientious development of full, objective, and reliable subject indexes to meet the changing needs of scholarship. Hindersmann will be thanked by German Anglicists for an enlightening account of research tools that they ought to use regularly and with some sense of familiarity.Whether the publishers and editors of MLAIB and ABELL will find much here that really is new to them is doubtful, but they will be cheered by Hindersmann's appreciation of their work and encouraged by his urging them to carry on in the right directions.

?Victorian Bibliography?: Seventy Years After

4 r f appearance of an annual bibliography of publications can be said to mark moment a scholarly discipline is officially recognized, wrote Richard D. Altick, then origins of the scholarly study of Victorian literature and life may be traced to the first issue of Victorian Bibliography (309). When that work appeared, in 1933, Lytton Strachey's Eminent Victorians had been published only fifteen years earlier, and most Victorian scholars were Victorians by birth. This essay traces process by which a slender list of publications on English literature of Victorian era, hastily assembled seventy years ago, has evolved into indispensable index to current scholarship in our period, whose history mirrors progress of Victorian studies. VB was launched when Victorian antipathies were strong and when, compared with number of students of other literary periods, there were relatively few Victorian scholars on either side of Atlantic. In December 1930, at a meeting of Victorian Literature Group of Modern Language Association of America, William D. Templeman submitted a list of books, articles, and reviews published that year which had a bearing on English literature of Victorian period. Great interest was shown both in his list and in suggestion that it be followed by a series of annual Victorian bibliographies. When Group met next year, chair, Howard Mumford Jones, was authorized to appoint a bibliography committee. He asked Templeman to serve as editor, and Frederic E. Faverty, Charles F. Harrold, and Helen C. White agreed to assist with task. Because neither Victorian Group nor Modern Language Association had appropriated funds for publishing bibliography, committee was left to its own devices. As editor, Templeman consulted with Ronald S. Crane, managing editor of Modern Philology, and, on Crane's recommendation, arrangements were made with University of Chicago Press to publish annual Victo-

Annual bibliography of significant advances in dietary supplement research

For the ninth consecutive year, the Offi ce of Dietary Supplements (ODS) at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) is pleased to offer you the Annual Bibliography of Signifi cant Advances in Dietary Supplement Research. This publication contains annotations of 25 original papers 1 selected from over 400 related to dietary supplements that appeared in more than 80 scientifi c publications in 2007. The bibliography provides a snapshot of basic, observational, clinical, and translational research published on dietary supplements, citations where these papers appeared, and funding sources. Among the fi ndings reported in the 2007 bibliography are the role of vitamins in the management of risk for venous thromboembolism, folic acid on hearing loss in adults, omega-3 fatty acids in the management of risk for type 1 diabetes, genistein on bone mineral density, and botanicals in the management of risk factors for diabetes. A multi-step process was used to identify the 25 papers. First, peer-reviewed journals publishing original research concerning dietary supplements are identifi ed. Next, colleagues at the National Agricultural Library, U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) conducted a targeted literature search of each journal to identify original papers concerning dietary supplements. A search of press releases, news stories, and recommendations from scientifi c reviewers were also used to identify original papers. For 2007, this process yielded 437 papers from 83 journals. These studies were then manually reviewed before identifying the 223 papers that were sent to an external team of internationally recognized scientists for evaluation. At least two scientists scored each paper independently. Scientists were provided with scoring sheets to ensure uniform scoring. The scores received were tallied to identify the top scoring 25 papers. The 25 papers selected through this process were annotated and sent for internal review and clearance before appearing in the fi nal annual bibliography. The annotations are written from information contained in the original papers, related press releases, commentaries, editorials, and reviewer comments. This project is the result of the continued efforts of many individuals whose contributions and combined efforts make it possible for us to bring you this publication each year. These individuals include the scientifi c reviewers, journal editors, and staff at ODS and the National Agricultural Library, USDA. These individuals are identifi ed in the acknowledgements section.
