Dear Folks, See my article below on systematic bibliography, which is the general term for this category of publication. As for being tested within our community--this article was widely required in LIS programs around the country for years. For many years, every student who went through the UCLA program read it (required by other faculty, not me), starting well before I went there to teach. Bates, Marcia J. "Rigorous Systematic Bibliography." RQ 16 (Fall 1976): 7-26. It also appears in shortened form in White, Howard D., Marcia J. Bates, and Patrick Wilson. For Information Specialists: Interpretations of Reference and Bibliographic Work. Norwood, NJ: Ablex 1992. Marcia -- Marcia J.
