Using this bibliography
  The bibliography is a written to be read as one work split into conveniently-sized documents which you, as reader, can move quickly between using the underlined hypertext links. We have designed it to be easy to read and browse and then, if you want, to be printed out, or copied from screen.

In addtion, every British Council Library and Resource Centre will have a print copy of the bibliography. No other print copies will be distributed.

If you visit the bibliography's front page you will see that it has author and title indexes split into alphabetical groups or available entire as slightly larger files. These larger files are best to use if you are looking for keywords or all the works of a particular author. Just perform a search using the 'find' function on your browser.

If you are teaching British Studies we have structured the contents to be more useful to you. The titles of the sections correspond to frequently used topics in British Studies syllabuses. This should make it easier when planning new courses or providing reading lists.

If you are stocking a library or resource centre we hope it will give you ideas for structuring information about Britain.
