tance to researchers and librarians is the fact that the Guide also supplies details of the bibliographical access to each title, whether represented by indexes, specialised bibliographies, catalogues of other libraries, author checklists, manuscript guides, or reference to information services within the university. This feature, unusual for a guide to excellent research resources in an often neglected format, makes Wagle's Guide particularly valuable as it brings together the physical and the bibliographical access aspect of each title. The author-title-subject index complements this exceptionally well organized work.

*The Guide to Research Collections in Microform* is not only an excellent reference tool for one of the best microform collections in the country, it is also readable – and that cannot be frequently said of similar, and far too few, publications available on the subject.

*Bibliographie internationale sur le bilinguisme/International Bibliography on Bilingualism.* Préparée sous la direction de/compiled under the editorship of William F. Mackey. Québec: Less Presses de l'Université Laval, 1972. 337 p. (indexes: French pp. 1-209; English pp. 1-203; separate pagination), $30.00 ISBN 0-7746-6630-7

This bibliography was compiled by the International Centre for Research on Bilingualism/Centre International de recherches sur le bilinguisme, at Université Laval, under the able editorship of its initiator Professor William F. Mackey, a distinguished Canadian linguist specializing in bilingual problems. As stated in the foreword, it was intended "to encompass anything that has to do with bilingualism, biculturalism and language contact, including historical, psychological, juridical, sociological, and geographical aspects of bilingualism, the measurement of its incidence and distribution, case studies, interference, language borrowing and language acquisition" (p.xviii). And indeed the compiler, and his collaborators, have made every effort to gather all the accessible materials to comply with their plan and terms of reference. The book under review brings together an enormous wealth of titles on bilingualism, being in fact the first book of that kind in the Western hemisphere. One might say that it is a synthesis of all bibliography on bilingualism so far produced in Western languages, primarily French, English and German. Yet, with few exceptions, the material written in other languages is scarcely mentioned and insufficiently described. A variety of books and articles published in Slavic languages (in Russian and Ukrainian for example), in Hungarian, Finnish, Lithuanian, Greek, Hebrew, and others, remains unlisted by the compilers. Even the literature on the subject published in Ukrainian, Russian and other languages in Canada and the United States is not included in the book.

Nevertheless, one is inclined to consider the *Bibliographie internationale* a worthy first attempt at a truly representative international bibliography on bilingualism. It is a provocative and noble task for the Laval *Centre* to produce
this volume, for the benefit of scholarship and politicians in the field of bilin-
gualism.<fnref n="1" />

This massive two-volume work is a welcome addition to the previous University of Toronto publications in the field of Canadiana. It reveals improvements in comparison with earlier volumes, regarding the arrangement of the material and the number of titles included. Their range is quite extensive, far beyond the single date indicated, 1974; we find still to be in print titles which were published in the 1960s and 1970s. One is astonished by the wealth and variety of printed output in Canada in the last decade, and one admires the tenacity and industry of the compilers, their ability to gather the extensive materials printed primarily in English, and to present them in such well-organized sections, viz. Author Index, Title Index, Publisher Index (in Book I), and in Subject Guide Index, and again, Publisher Index (in Book II).

In spite of its seemingly well-organized format, however, the book under review has shortcomings which could easily have been avoided. Thus for example, the repetition of Publisher Indexes in both parts (p. 835-878 in the first, and p. 535-558 in the second) was superfluous. Some erroneous data ought not to have appeared; for example, the address of one of the publishers, Ukrainian Free Academy, is: P. O. Box 3504, Station B., Winnipeg, Manitoba, and not as stated on p. 557 and 877 respectively. Another Publisher, Canadian Institute of Onomastic Sciences, is listed on p. 336, but is missing in the lists of publishers in both Indexes. This reviewer's book *Manitoba Mosaic of Place Names* (Winnipeg, 1970) was published by that Institute and not by the Academy as stated on p. 336. The heading *Onomastics* (*Onomatology*) is missing, both in the List of Subject Headings and in the Subject Guide.

In spite of its wealth of titles, the bibliography is not complete. It would take much time and space to list omitted titles still "in print" in Canada, be it works as extensive as F. Bodgan's *Dictionary of Ukranian Surnames in Canada* (Vancouver-Winnipeg, 1974, 364 pages), or minor items like the author's *Repertorium Bibliographicum*, 1933-1963 (Winnipeg, 1964).
