Materials selected are readily accessible. The bibliography is organized by country, with a section on Europe and a section on Scandinavia. Within each country's section, the bibliography is subdivided into categories of the various institutions, methods and techniques, and subject matter with each source listed fully as the main entry in the applicable major subcategory and cross-referenced by number under any other applicable subcategory. A subject index lists all entries by subcategories and by countries. A list of periodicals searched systematically for materials is included.
