Bibliographies & Indexes for African American Poetry
Bibliographies
Bibliographies are extremely useful in locating references on a subject or a person which someone else has uncovered -- thus making it unnecessary to repeat at least some of the research. Use Global Express to obtain books on loan or photocopies of articles which the University Library do not own.
