Bibliographies and Library Catalogs

For the last half of the 1990s, Bill and Barbara Byrd have operated the Williamsburg, Virginia-based Aeroplane Books at Http://www. aero-planebooks. com. Their online book catalog presents the latest in new titles, with complete bibliographic information.

Kenneth G. Madden’s Air Transportation Safety Resources, particularly helpful for its updated bibliography, should be seen regularly at Http://people. unt. edu/~kgm0001.

Those wishing to find a complete listing of currently available airline-oriented books should check either the print or online versions of Books in Print. On the other hand, if you wish the same service without cost, type in author, title, or subjects in the search box at Http://www. ama-zon. com.

Since the original edition of The Airline Bibliography was published in 1985-1986, dozens of library catalogs have become more easily available to researchers via the World Wide Web. One can access via a one-stop consultation with Peter Scott’s Library Web-Based OPACS at Http://www. lights. com/webcats, originally begun as a project at a Canadian university library, but now hosted by Northern Lights Internet Solutions. Employing the “Geographical Index” of this tool, the following library catalogs are recommended for those needing to keep abreast of newly accessioned published and unpublished studies.
