Essay Collections
In addition to journals and monographs, the MLA Bibliography annually indexes approximately 1,200 “essay collections,” books of articles or Festschriften containing independent scholarship by multiple authors. Relevant articles in each volume are also indexed.
To aid librarians in their collection-development efforts, since 2008 the bibliography staff has provided the following Excel spreadsheets containing a listing of the titles, authors, publishers, series, and ISBNs available in each file update. These spreadsheets are identified by update number—YYYYUU. YYYY indicates the file year and UU the sequential number.
For information on essay collections indexed before 2008, please contact us at bibliography@mla.org.
