Abstract

Purpose

The purpose of this paper is to recommend print and electronic resources that will be useful in helping the student, scholar or thesis writer who wants to begin an in-depth literature search for criticism of the works of J.R.R. Tolkien. Listings are geared toward the English-speaking, North American user, but include some European sources as well.

Design/methodology/approach

Recommendations are based on the author’s experience as a scholar, editor and thesis advisor in the field of Tolkien studies.

Findings

While the use of general literature reference sources will satisfy most needs, a serious scholar will need to look beyond the Modern Language Association (MLA) and similar resources to do a comprehensive search of the literature.

Originality/value

This is not a topic covered in reference reviews, previously.

Abstract

Defines model licences and discusses their importance for both libraries and vendors.

Discusses how model licences are being used by publishers and consortia, and offers suggestions for using them in the reader’s library

Abstract

Purpose

This paper seeks to recommend a basic core collection of works by and about J.R.R. Tolkien for libraries by grade level.

Design/methodology/approach

The author draws on her experience as a Tolkien scholar and editor of one of the major journals in the field.

Findings

A basic collection should include some works beyond the well‐known Hobbit, The Lord of the Rings, and The Silmarillion.

Practical implications

The paper provides an ideal list for the library seeking to prepare for interest generated by the new Hobbit movie currently in production.

Originality/value

While there are other bibliographies on Tolkien available, particularly on fan and society web sites, this one is arranged by grade level and includes audio‐visual materials and recent scholarly and reference works, and is designed for library rather than personal use.
