Dear Ziko, also, a happy new year to you and to everyone else on the list! If you are interested in books about a subject you can actively search library catalogues for items related to a subject. E.g., in the catalogue of the German National Library there is a GND Sachbegriff called "Wiki" as <http://d-nb.info/gnd/4806885-8>. Other Sachbegriffe that come into mind might be Online-Community <http://d-nb.info/gnd/1071012568>, Social Media <http://d-nb.info/gnd/4639271-3>, etc. Just play around with the thesaurus they use and take a look into subject cataloguing. Do not search for the title "wiki", but rather for the subject term. You might also like to have a look into other national library catalogues, as sometimes the Swiss or the Austrian catalogues differ from the German one. No idea what other library traditions might be in this respect. LOC will probably not be as detailed as ours because they usually start and end with Dewey... Hope this helps, Jürgen. _______________________________________________ Wiki-research-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wiki-research-l
