About this product
Product Information
Providing a convenient and unique look at fashion and costume literature and how it has developed historically, this volume discusses monographic and reference literature and provides information on periodicals, research centers, and costume museums and collections. It also provides a new way of looking at the literature through a database of 58 Library of Congress subject headings. It covers topics from jeans to wedding dresses and features popular examples of how clothing is used and reflected in our culture through the literature discussed. Of interest to scholars, students, and anyone curious about the unique power clothing holds in our lives. Various types of reference sources are discussed including other guides to the literature, encyclopedia, dictionaries, biographical dictionaries, specialized bibliographies, and indexing and abstracting services. Electronic CD-ROM and online databases equivalents are included in the presentation of indexing and abstracting services with major networks such as OCLC, RLIN, Lexis/Nexis, and Dialog mentioned as well. In addition a list of 123 research centers, mainly libraries, is provided and arranged geographically by state, some 176 costume museums and collections of costumes located at colleges and universities are listed alphabetically, and a list of 278 periodicals on fashion, costume, clothing and related topics is provided. A database of some 58 clothing and accessory subject headings is analyzed in the Worldcat database with the literature of the top ten specific clothing and accessory subject terms limited to media publication format are covered. Additionally, histories of costume and fashion in the U.S. and works which concentrate on psychological, sociological or cultural aspects are outlined. An appendix, including the clothing and accessory database, and author and subject indexes conclude the volume.

"...Oliver's book is recommended for costume and fashion collections in a genre that has a dearth of substantial bibliographies." Choice, "The study of costume can present a challenge due to its interdisciplinary nature and the lack of adequate, current bibliographies. Any new entry in this area is certain to be welcomed. This guide consists of a series of bibliographic essays, with a list of complete citations for the items discussed at the end of each section. Chapters are primarily organized about a type of resource...There are valuable lists of research centers (primarily libraries), museums, and fashion periodicals (current and historical)...much material of value is assembled here. We are reminded of the wide range of materials useful for costumes research, from specialized monographs to Tony Lama cowboy-boot catalogs and the Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue.
