Nov. 21st, 2002 05:44 pmThe Deutsche Bibliothek online catalog rocks my tediously-copy-editing-and-filling-in-bibliographical-details-of-multi-volume-German-works world!
Update 16 minutes later:
Hmm. I take that back: it has been no help at all with determining what year Bd. 14 of Goethes Saemtliche Werke. Jubilaeums-Ausgabe in 40 Bdn., hrsg. v. E. von der Hellen (Berlin 1902-1907) was published. Sadly, this matters in my job.
Obviously one can narrow it down to a five-year period, but that's not good enough. The public deserves better.
Nor is it such that I can simply go and look at the thing on the shelf, as (a) I'm working from home and (b) it's not in the library I have access to anyway.
Oh well. Time to go to the Y soon.
For some reason, livejournal resists the Umlaut.
