An analysis of the literature on music and musicology by subject and bibliographic form and by language and country of origin is presented. Document titles were found to be relatively informative and a titles index is suggested as a possibility in view of RILM Abstract's tardiness. (6 references) (Author/NH)

The application of computer technology to storage and retrieval of geoscience data has increased markedly since about 1966, and has resulted in the publication of numerous papers describing various aspects of this work. Unfortunately, these are widely dispersed in the literature, many in relatively obscure journals, proceedings and other sources.…

Delineated in this bibliography are the characteristics of a number of retrospective bibliographies in one major division of scholarship--the social sciences--in an attempt to identify and sort out the various purposes toward which works in this format appear to be directed.
