SEARCH TIP:   for finding printed bibliographies  use the “Guided Keyword” search in CLIO, Columbia’s online catalog. Enter terms for your topic in the first one or two boxes.  Then enter  the word “bibliography” in one of the remaining search boxes, and select “subject” from the pull down menu next to the search box.  This last step is IMPORTANT  to identifyng works that ARE bibliographies and not  works that just  HAVE bibliographies!
