Wright, J.K. (1947) Aids To Geographical Research: Bibliographies, Periodicals, Atlases, Gazetteers, And Other Reference Books
ISBN 13: 9780837133843
Content/Scope: Lists resources for research, such as bibliographies, atlases, periodicals and other reference books. While it has been revised several times in its existence, it is largely out of date.
Accuracy/Authority: J.K. Wright was, in his time, a well known, respected and authoritative author. While this is a dated piece, it still carries authority as it uses/suggests the premier resources of its time.
Arrangement/Presentation: Some illustration, contents arranged in alphabetical order and by “area”.
Rationale: I chose this piece for the reference selection so students could “see” how one used to have to complete research – similar to the way encyclopedias used to be used.
Professional Review: none found.
