World Guide to Special Libraries

"All Saur reference works are splendid, & this is no exception...a veritable tour de force of information gathering."--WORLD AFFAIRS REPORT. Incorporating virtually every type of special library--from university medical libraries to independent archives focusing on a single discipline, such as music or art--the third edition of this directory categorizes over 35,000 libraries in 183 countries under 750 subject headings. Since libraries may appear under multiple subjects, the main section contains over 47,000 entries. Listings are arranged by subject, then alphabetically by country, & then by library. Additionally, the INDEX TO LIBRARIES in Volume 2 cumulates all libraries world-wide in a single alphabetical sequence with references to the main entry number.Opitz, Helmut is the author of 'World Guide to Special Libraries', published 1994 under ISBN 9783598222344 and ISBN 3598222343.
