This master's paper examines the use, by historians and librarians, of lists of recent publications, bibliographies, and reviews appearing in selected British and European history journals. Part 1 contains: (1) an introduction; (2) background information; (3) a literature review; (4) the problem statement; (5) a definition of terms; and (6) the research methodology. Part 2 describes the results of a survey conducted among historians and librarians at Duke University (North Carolina) and the University of North Carolina (Chapel Hill). This survey identified those journals considered most important by historians for current awareness of new publications and the relative importance that librarians attached to these lists for document selection. Part 3 contains an annotated bibliography of selected British and European history journals that regularly contain publications lists. Each entry contains: (1) the library call number; (2) the survey score; (3) publishing information; (4) the journal's subject scope; and (5) a brief annotation. Appendices include the survey instruments and accompanying letter. (JHP)
