Basic Bibliographical Periodicals and Their Indexing
In the table which follows, a selective list of periodicals containing material of bibliographical interest is arranged according to the five categories discussed above. For each periodical, indication is made (with the last two digits of the years) of the period (if any) during which it is covered in each of nine indexes. By reading across, therefore, one can get an idea of the best index or indexes to use in connection with a given periodical at a particular time; and by reading down the columns for the indexes, one can see what sort of pool of bibliographical information is available in any particular index. Although the SB lists make such a table less necessary for the years following 1948, the data given here are carried through to the present, since in certain areas—such as the trade journals—one may wish to supplement those lists. This table, it must be emphasized, has a deceptively precise appearance—for the figures in many cases must be regarded only as approximate indications of periods of coverage. There are several reasons for this situation: (1) the figures given here are based solely
