Description
The first volume of the New Brunswick Bibliography Series features Bibliography of New Brunswick Bibliographies by Jocelyne L. Thompson. Detailing over 140 publications including books, directories, catalogues, guides, indexes, government documents, reports, book chapters, journal articles, and online databasesThompson’s bibliography reveals both a richness of resources in some subject areas and a serious lack in others, suggesting many possible avenues for future study and publication. Thompson’s bibliography is accompanied by two related essays that provide context for the series: New Brunswick’s Contribution to the World of Knowledge: Collecting & Organizing the Published Record by Peter F. McNally, and Operationalizing Cultural Work in New Brunswick: From Theory to Practice by Tony Tremblay.
