Bibliographic Essay Explanation
What is a Bibliographic Essay?
A bibliographic essay is a critical essay in which the writer identifies and evaluates the core works of research within a discipline or sub-discipline.
What is the purpose of a Bibliographic Essay?
A bibliographic essay is written to summarize and compare a number of sources on a single topic. The goal of this essay is not to prove anything about a subject, but rather to provide a general overview of the field. By looking through multiple books and articles, you can provide your reader with context for the subject you are studying, and recommend a few reputable sources on the topic.

Bibliographic Essay Guidelines
General Information
Choice bibliographic essays are intended to identify core books, journals, and digital resources that meet the needs of undergraduates, faculty, and librarians serving these users. Essays address new curricular or interdisciplinary areas; subjects that have garnered significant recent interest; or important new literature on a traditional subject. When the subject and due date of the essay are agreed on, the editor will send the author a copyright agreement to sign and return (by mail or as a scanned PDF file).
Essays are not introductions to a topic, but rather informative discussions of important literature on a topic. Accordingly, essays * take a position * in subjectively selecting and discussing the most important resources for the topic. The author's point of view sets the framework for the essay and provides its raison d’être. Rather than listing and describing resources, the author should evaluate each of the titles in a way that proves its worth to the body of literature about the topic and, thus, why it is in the essay. The author should also discuss the relationships between the resources discussed, providing a narrative thread throughout that explains how the resources are the same or different; if/how one picks up where another leaves off; how changes over time and/or historical context impact the research; and how the titles relate and create a well-defined body of work about the topic. Seminal works should be identified as such; particular journal articles should be included only if they are essential to the topic.
Organization, Length & Format
Essays should begin with an introduction and conclude with one or two summary paragraphs. The introduction should set the stage by describing the topic and the general state of the scholarly literature supporting it. It should also describe the characteristics of the body of selected resources, presenting a brief “thesis”—explaining the selection and why it succeeds as a core literature for that particular field of study. The introduction should then briefly describe the organization of the essay and explain the reason for that organization. The text should be prepared in MS Word with minimal to no formatting (Word templates should not be used). Reference materials—bibliographies, dictionaries, etc.—are typically discussed together, as are digital resources. But this is not a hard rule. Essays should discuss 50-75 titles and should top out at about 5,000 words. (Sample essays are available at http://ala-choice.libguides.com/ .)
Editing & Style
Essays are edited for clarity and Choice house style. The editor will send the author a copy of the edited essay, with queries and comments, if any, before the essay goes to the copy editor. The editor will send the author page proofs before the essay goes to production.
Works Cited
Every title mentioned in the essay should be in the works cited list, and all titles in the works cited should be discussed in the essay. Citations should be arranged alphabetically by author (or by title, for edited works and digital resources). Information should include author(s)/editor(s), title, publisher, date of original publication, and (if applicable) preferred edition. URLs for internet resources should be formatted without embedded hyperlinks.

Academic discussion on race in Tolkien studies originated fairly recently caused, in part, by the growing influence of cultural studies and the release of the live-action film by Peter Jackson in 2001–2003. For the purpose of this essay, I define Tolkien studies as an inter- and multidisciplinary field encompassing Tolkien’s legendarium as well as adaptations, derivations, and transformative cultural productions arising from his work. My analysis of scholarship dealing with race in Tolkien studies published during the past dozen years reveals two significant patterns of critical approaches and varying, at times oppositional, claims about Tolkien’s work and/or Tolkien himself. These patterns tend toward the binary, especially the conflict between those who see Tolkien or his work as racist and those who see Tolkien or his work as celebrating diversity and multicultural cooperation. The other conflict is between scholarly periods of specialization, specifically the question of whether approaches developed by medievalists or postmodernists are best suited for analyzing Tolkien’s work.
I would like to thank Helen Young for her input into this specific essay and for the work she has done generally on race in Tolkien studies. Her review essay on The Body in Tolkien’s Legendarium inspired this essay, and her feedback during the writing of the essay was invaluable. I would also like to thank Jacob Pichnarcik whose efforts at Interlibrary Loan & Microforms, Texas A&M University-Commerce, have, as always, made my work as a scholar much easier.

Just as readers of books gain in different ways from their reading according to who they are, their literary skills, and their particular interests, so do readers of maps. The relationship between words and lines on maps also ranges widely. Words may be part of the graphic image, as place-names and historical and technical notes; descriptive text may fill the borders or the back of the map; a map may be included in a book explicitly in support or expansion of the written discourse; or an extensive commentary may comprise an entire booklet issued to accompany the map. Some maps are composed entirely of words (usually place-names positioned on the page in appropriate spatial order), while others appear to lack words altogether, these having been voiced in prayer (as in the case of prehistoric petroglyphs), in a tactful presentation to a ruler, or as strategically delicate advice to a military leader. Understanding the relationship of text to the lines on a map is key to understanding the map, its intended readership, and its use.

Historical maps deserve a place in the college classroom as primary sources. Since the 1980s, scholarship has shown how maps can be analyzed and interpreted to reveal something not only about the peoples, spaces, and times they portray but also about the societies that create, consume, and contest them. Over the last decade, the maps themselves have become increasingly accessible, as important research libraries and archives digitize their holdings. Yet these graphic texts are not yet staples of college curricula or documentary readers. This essay provides a brief overview of recent research in the history of cartography and presents two examples of map discussion modules for the Latin American history classroom: a demonstration of US neocolonialism, resource extraction, and social change in late nineteenth-century eastern Nicaragua, and a case of urban planning and ideas of order in colonial Mexico City.

Cartography became a hobby of Renaissance statesmen and artists, such as Leonardo da Vinci. The rulers of Italian and German cities were particularly interested in pictorial maps of their own cities. Between 1572 and 1618 a collection of 530 city maps was published in Cologne by George Braun and Frans Hogenberg.
