What are types of bibliography?

Answer 1

Bibliography Net accepts files containing two types of bibliographiesby author and by subject.a) By AUTHOR.

A bibliography by author is the list of publications of which

someone is (co)author: this may include reports, preprints,

or other miscellaneous material that is available on his/her work.

See Appendix C for more information.

We encourage and are particularly grateful to people willing

to contribute the list of publications of authors other than

themselves: for instance, authors who are no longer working in

the field, or are deceased.

Notice: we DO NOT accept a list of miscellaneous publications

of different authors that someone may have collected for his own

work, unless it meets the requirements of the bibliography

by subject, described in (b).

b) By SUBJECT.

A bibliography by subject is a collection of publications on a

certain subject, with fairly complete coverage. Examples of

existing bibliographies that meet the requirements are the

collection on "Multigrid Methods" coordinated by Craig Douglas

and the reference list of the book "Matrix Computations"

by golub and Van Loan.

An annotated bibliography has entries which include " ... note[s] ... intended to describe, explain, or evaluate the publication referred to" ( ALA Glossary , p. 8).

A current bibliography records currently or recently published material, with the intent of reporting the recent literature as it appears. >

A national bibliography is "A bibliography of documents published in a particular country and, ... documents ... written in the language of the country" ( ALA Glossary , p.151)

A period bibliography lists works about a given time period.

A retrospective bibliography "... lists documents or parts of documents, such as articles, published in previous years, as distinct from a current bibliography ... . Retrospective bibliographies are frequently divided into two types ... [one of which is] research-oriented, [and] are intended as jumping-off points for those doing research in the topic covered ..." ( ALA Glossary, p.194).

A serial bibliography appears at fixed intervals of time, e.g. weekly, monthly, quarterly, annually, and has as its mission the reporting of titles, often both book titles and article titles (as well as dissertations, book reviews, pamphlets, and other types of material) as they appear.

A subject bibliography lists works about a given subject.

Answer 2

The selected bibliography is the type of bibliography usually found at the end of a student paper. The bibliography is "selected" because the author has made no effort to locate all possible sources relevant to the paper's topic.

The bibliographic essay is like the annotated bibliography, except that the alphabetical listing of sources is abandoned in favor of an essay-like discussion of the sources used in the paper.

A comprehensive bibliography is much more ambitious than a selected bibliography. The author of a comprehensive bibliography has attempted to hunt out and list all primary and secondary materials dealing with a given topic.

An annotated bibliography provides brief summaries or comments underneath each citation in the bibliography.
