Bibliography as an interdisciplinary information service

ALTHOUGH PUBLISHED SUBJECT BIBLIOGRAPHIES would Seem to have lost their value due to the availability of electronic catalogs and indexes, they still play an important role in winnowing the vast amount of information derived from these resources. This article supports this claim through an examination of an information search of a study of the subjects of play and leisure. The complementary notions of bibliography drawn by Marcia Bates (1976) and Patrick Wilson (1992) show the continuing importance of well-conceived and carefully executed bibliographies for interdisciplinary areas.
