The McLennan Library of McGill University has created these student guide bibliographies as library orientation tools. They cover reference materials in specific subject areas in the social science and humanities, with special reference to their locations in McLennan Library. The guides are intended for the master's level student and have proved useful to advanced undergraduates and faculty. They are used as a basis for bibliography seminars and as handouts to assist students engaged in literature searches for papers and theses. Some bring together information which is not organized systematically in any published reference tool. Others provide a simpler approach to fields for which guides to the literature exist in a more comprehensive form. (Author)
