Abstract
Abstract:Searching is basic to all work with books. Often routine and obvious, it can also be laborious, problematical, time-consuming, and dependent on special skills, expertise, and insights. It requires a knowledge of bibliographical sources, often uncommon, idiosyncratic, and unusual in their citation practices. Above all, especially when it is difficult, it can be a learning experience.
