'''Bibliography''' (from
ancient Greek Greek βιβλιογÏ?αφία, lit. ''book writing'') in its most general sense is the study and description of
books. It can be divided into '''enumerative''' or '''systematic''' bibliography, which results in an overview of
publications in a particular category, and '''analytical''' or '''critical''' bibliography, which studies the production of books.
Enumerative bibliography
A '''bibliography''' is a list, either indicative or comprehensive, of works:
* author
* subject
* country or state
* published in a specified period
* mentioned in, or relevant to, a particular work (a bibliography of this type, sometimes called a '''reference list''' should normally appear at the end of any paper in
scientific literature)
A bibliography may be arranged by author, date, topic or some other scheme. Annotated bibliographies give descriptions about how each source is useful to an author in constructing a paper or argument. Creating these blurbs, usually a few sentences long, establishes a summary for and expresses the
relevance of each source prior to writing.
Bibliographies differ from
library catalogs by including all relevant publications rather than items actually found in a particular library. However, some
national library national libraries' catalogs also serve as national bibliographies, as they contain (almost) all their countries' publications.
Analytical bibliography
The critical study of bibliography is subdivided into '''descriptive''', '''historical''', and '''textual''' bibliography. Descriptive bibliography is the close examination of a book as a physical object, recording its size, format,
bookbinding binding, and so on, while historical bibliography takes a broader view of printing and publishing. Textual bibliography is another name for
textual criticism.
