If the volume is made by binding pamphlets previously in the library, give in the source column "pam. bd." and omit cost. 24 Periodicals. For the volume of a periodical, made by binding numbers currently received, give in source column "ser. bd." and omit price, as this will generally be kept on a separate serials list. For periodicals and other continuations, include the period covered, as a part of the title, whether given on title page or not. Remember that in the accession record each volume is treated by itself and therefore even for continuations and volumes of a set, should receive full imprint and collation. 010 BIBLIOGRAPHY DIRECTIONS FOR ORIGINAL BIBLIOGRAPHY 1 FRANK K. WALTER For good reasons the vice director will give permission for variation from these rules, but the rules so amended must be followed consistently. Subject. The original bibliography may be: I A complete bibliography of a subject or author 2 A select bibliography of a subject or author 3 A reading list with notes A complete bibliography must indicate the best books from both scholarly and popular standpoints. A reading list must contain notes indicating scope and value of works. A subject should be selected and approved before the end of the junior year. The bibliography must be submitted on or before June 1st of the senior year. Choose a subject in which you are interested. If you have no decided preference, consult the vice director. Submit the subject to the vice director who, with the lecturer on bibliography, will determine scope and suggest treatment. Be thorough, be accurate, be consistent. Material. Do not be satisfied with the resources of one library but, as far as feasible, work in other libraries. Be always on the alert for material. Help each other by reporting out of the way references. If possible, examine all works included in your list. Indicate by e or other suitable symbol books personally examined, using e (underlined) if the edition examined is not the same as that entered in the list. Full call numbers of books in the New York State Library may be given even when editions differ from those described in the list; for example, Co12 qF831. Cite libraries in which books not in the State Library were seen, thus: Vassar e. Prefix lists of all but obvious abbreviations used and of principal bibliographic aids consulted. In analytic work make a list of "Works cited," to include full entries of all books from which more than one or two analytics have been taken (see Analytics). To any of these that are analyzed add a note specifying edition analyzed if different from that in the list; for example, "Analyzed, Houghton, 1870." 'Revised from the original directions of Mrs Salome Cutler Fairchild. State the scope and purpose of your bibliography clearly and concisely in a preface. For form of prefatory matter, see New York State Library Bibliography 32. In all cases of doubt or lack of specific directions, give too much rather than too little information. Form of citation Use A. L. A. Catalog Rules, following general directions below. Author and title. Give full names of author, preferably with dates and full titles. Consult not only the name (author) catalog, but also recent publications for later biographic data or fuller names. Be sure that an author's name is in the same form throughout the list. Subject fulness according to cataloging rules (see New York State Library Bibliography 32) may be used in title and in notes and indexes. In reading list and select bibliography, entry may be made under best known form of author's name. As a rule, give brief title, but always include alternative title, name of editor or translator, and any part of title that will add to value of citation or show reason (not otherwise plain) for its inclusion; for example, name of illustrator of children's books, author of prefatory or other additional matter, and even minor information if needed to distinguish editions. Edition. In complete bibliography, arrange editions chronologically and distinguish with as complete information as possible. (See New York State Library Bibliography 17, page 544.) In reading list. or select bibliography, choose one edition, except for unusual reasons, and put references to others in a note; for example, “ Published without illustrations and index by Houghton $1.25"; "Edition de luxe, Scribner $10." As a rule prefer American editions, unless a foreign edition is better or cheaper. When the same book is published by English and American firms, add note; for example, "Also published by Harper $2"; or "Also published by Chapman Is." If an English book is brought out with imprint of American importer, add note; for example, "Also issued by Scribner $1 "; or "Originally issued in London, Low 3s." When same publisher brings out an English and American edition, add note; for example, "American price $1 "; or "English price Is." Pages, illustrations, size etc. Give main paging only, except when minor paging represents a considerable proportion of book. Express 208p. with unpaged printed recto as 209p. Indicate sup plement pages in periodical references thus; 10: sup. 11-14. Use illus. for illustrations, portraits, plates, photographs, facsimiles and tables, but specify maps. Indicate size by letter (or centimeters if desired) if possible; use fold symbol only when unavoidable. Place, date. In case of towns requiring addition of state, write, for example, Titusville Pa. (no comma). If name of state is given in title, or bibliography is confined to a single state, omit it in imprint. Omit copyright dates unless in unusual cases the information seems desirable. Publisher, price. Use common abbreviations for publishers such as those given in the Publishers' Weekly, American Catalog and U. S. Catalog. For little known publishers usually give full firm name. For firms now dissolved use this form: Ticknor (now Houghton). In cases of changed publisher, cite publisher and price of copy examined in entry, adding present publisher and price in note if the book is still in print Give price of books in reading list, select bibliography and of "best books" in complete bibliography, preferably stating it in money of country where book is published, but if found only in another denomination do not translate it. When the book is known to be out of print, indicate it by o.p. For out of print books give approximate second-hand or auction price if obtainable. In case of foreign books obtainable in the United States, add note giving American publisher or importer and price (see Edition). Add "net" invariably to all prices so designated. When single volume or part of a work is cited, state price if sold separately; for example, pt 1, 50c. Mention unusual binding; for example, paper 75c. Series. Abbreviate consistently and be sure that the abbreviations are easily intelligible. In case of doubt, include abbreviations for series in the explanatory list of abbreviations prefixed to the bibliography. Note the following illustrations: (Eng. classics; star ser.) (Riverside lit. ser. no. 86) (Lib. of economics and politics, v.7) (Amer, sci. ser. advanced course) Analytics in books. When but one analytic from a work is cited give in usual form, and place imprint information in note. When two or more from the same work, place complete entry in list of "Works cited" and analytics in usual form in their proper places. If two or more analytics with same author and from the same book are to be entered under same heading, make full entry 66 of book, or brief entry (as below) if full entry is made under Works cited," and give titles and paging of analytics in note; for example, Gladden, Washington. Social facts and forces. 1897. 304 G45 If the edition analyzed differs from that cited, indicate edition. When the part of a book referred to has no definite title, supply an appropriate title and inclose it in brackets, or enter under book and give reason for inclusion in note. Note the following illustrations: (In his Writings. 1891. p.9-195) (In Reminiscences of the City of New York. 1855. p.145-47) (In Shaler, N.S. The United States of America. 1897. 2:191-213) Be sensible as well as consistent in analytic entries and keep constantly in mind the convenience of the user. Analytics in serials. Do not call a periodical article anonymous if the author's name appears in connection with the article anywhere in the periodical. Use abbreviations for periodicals given in Poole's Index or the Readers' Guide; for all others use full form. Use the following forms for months: Contents, notes. Use the following order: notice of different edition, publisher or price; contents; compiler's critical or descriptive note; quoted note; origin or other forms of material (address, paper, argument, reprint, pamphlet, magazine article, etc.); references to reviews, criticisms or summaries. For arrangement of contents see New York State Library Bibliography 24, 32 or 42. Quoted notes may be condensed but great care should be taken not to alter meaning. Give exact references, using the following forms: Nation, Feb. 27, 1868, 6:170-72 (that is, title, date, volume, pages) N.Y. State Trav. Lib. Finding List 7, p. 3 Fiske. Beginnings of New England. 1889. p.280 If the same book is frequently quoted, enter it in the list of abbreviations and use short form at end of note; for example, Adams, |
