Quick reference guide to bibliographic code
The system of bibliographic codes described below has been adapted from the traditional bibliographic classification system used in David Kermani's John Ashbery: A Comprehensive Bibliography. Please note, however, that the system has been substantially altered to suit the purposes of this catalogue, which serves primarily to document the various types of material contained in the ARC archive. Although designed to be compatible with Kermani's work, this catalogue is not, in the strict sense, a conventional bibliography.
For more detailed information on the bibliographic code field in general, and on differences between the organization of material in Kermani's bibliography and in this catalogue, see the bibliographic code field chapter of this manual. For more detailed information on specific bibliographic codes, including extended definitions and examples of materials, see the individual chapters of this manual dedicated to particular bibliographic sections.
