<p>This is the fifth supplement in the classic reference series begun by Mary Huse Eastman in 1926. Ireland and Sprug analyze 262 collections published between 1978 and 1986, with some 2,000 subject headings, plus copious cross-references. Many new headings are found in this volume, including additional adult headings of folklore and mythology to accommodate and increase in the number of adult books indexed on these subjects. This supplement will be useful, therefore, to academic libraries, as well as to children's departments in public libraries and to school libraries.</p>

The goal of this index, first published by Norma Olin Ireland as Index to Inspiration (Faxon, 1976) and well-reviewed in library journals is to help inspire speakers and writers who wish to address others effectively and imaginatively on all manner of subjects, early and modern, serious and humorous, with some emphasis on current problems of the day, especially on topics of moral significance. The word "inspiration" is used in the broad sense of the term, meaning not only religious but creative inspiration as well. The first edition analyzed 220 books; the second edition retains the original concept, analyzing 396 books published primarily between 1975 and 1990, with additional subheadings.

Literature & Fiction

Literary

This new publication, the seventh in the series, includes fairy tales, folk tales, fables, myths, and legends. The major change in this edition is that each entry (author, title, or subject) gives the exact source; no longer is the location found only under the title entry. The descriptive part of an entry (formerly limited to the title as printed) is often made more informative by the title listing being extended, reworded, or even replaced. There are 310 collections included, 85% of them published from 1980 through 1991. All index entries for stories in collections suitable to children (preschool through middle school) are marked with an asterisk (*). Books were selected by referral to reviews and/or evidence of use in public libraries. The List of Titles Indexed includes full bibliographic citation, the review(s) consulted, the book's reading level, and the indexing level. The 310 titles can be classified: all levels, including children (25%); junior/senior high school (44%); adult public library or college (24%); graduate (7%). The book aims at being qualitatively comprehensive for children's collections.
