Coverage of non-English language material is representative only. The majority of this material is from France, Germany, and Italy, but several other languages are represented. Non-English language material is entered by author, title, and imprint. Subject heading are applied where possible. For a variety of reasons, including the lack of multilingual typewriters or word processors for many years, diacritical marks are often omitted.
Material is sought from a wide variety of sources.
The List of Magazines Surveyed identifies those titles I have regularly examined for material. The list is not inclusive for all magazines which have generated titles included here, but it does indicate the primary source journals which are regularly surveyed. Methodology A variety of methods were used to identify the items considered for inclusion. Bibliographic searching of a wide variety of published indexes ranging from Reader's Guide to Lexis-Nexis, regular examination of the magazines noted above, citation analysis of published papers, help from fellow scholars, and good fortune were all significant tools in the growth of this database. Citation analysis proved to be the most fruitful source of otherwise unknown items.
