This groundbreaking new book outlines current developments in nineteenth- and twentieth-century Australian and New Zealand serials bibliography. Researchers have been hampered by the lack of access to lists and contents of nineteenth- and early twentieth-century serials, including newspapers, and the chapters of this book discuss in some detail the progress being made on projects in this area. Other chapters deal with the contribution of the National Centre for Australian Studies to Australian studies and Australian bibliography. The importance of this center lies in its role in improving access to source and other material of Australian origin or interest of specific use to researchers. There are also accounts of current trends in serials bibliography, online newspaper services, current research projects in Australian studies, sports bibliographies, and newspaper and periodical bibliographies in Australia and New Zealand. Bibliographers, librarians, publishers, rare book dealers, as well as students, will find this book to be helpful and enlightening.
