Book excerpt: "A handy, one-volume sourcebook, the G. K. Hall Interdisciplinary Bibliographic Guide to Black Studies lists current publications cataloged during the past year by The New York Public Library. The Guide also serves in part as an annual supplement to the Dictionary Catalog of the Schomburg Collection of Negro Literature and History, The New York Public Library. The Guide represents exclusively New York Public Library holdings." "The New York Public Library's Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture is one of the most important centers in the world for the study of black life and history. Its literature is international in scope and comprehensive in its coverage of black activity wherever people of African descent have lived. The Schomburg Center's holdings includes books by authors of African descent, regardless of subject matter or language. The Center also strives to obtain all significant materials about peoples of African descent. Subject strengths include art, biography, folklore, geography, history (Africa and the Americas), literature and languages, music, religion and sports. In addition, to books and periodical literature there are entries for photographs, manuscript and archival collections, art objects, sheet music, and audiovisual material, from the Center's four special collections divisions."--BOOK JACKET.
