On this page are selected annotated bibliographies for monographs from Former Yugoslavia that do not truly belong under the category of national bibliography. Thus, there are bibliographies of particular publishers or institutions, bibliographies of dissertations, or bibliographies that simply were not intended to be comprehensive in scope. The initial section includes some general and specialized monographic bibliographies for Yugoslavia and for the individual countries of Former Yugoslavia. The latter sections, divided by country, cover Matica and Academy publications. The last two sections contain bibliographies of various major publishers or their catalogs from any of the countries of Former Yugoslavia and bibliographies of dissertations.

This bibliography has an unusual focus; it covers Latin language imprints printed or typeset in Yugoslavia or by Yugoslav authors/editors/translators up to 1848. Three volumes cover three areas: part one is for Croatia, part two is for Slovenia and part three is for Serbia (U of I lacks part two and part three). The bibliography listed immediately below on Slovenia is extracted from part two of this set. Entries give bibliographic data, locations for European libraries that hold the title and citations to bibliographies in which the works are cited. The volumes in part one list the entries by author or by title if there is no author with a systematic subject index in tom 2. Tom 2 also provides a name index with the names written in the modern spelling. The number in bold face indicates the page and the one following is the entry number on that page. The volumes on Croatia contain over 4000 entries. Although the introduction is only in Latin, this most likely will not be a problem for the reader interested in the unusual subject matter of the bibliography. The image below depicts an entry for a 1796 publication from Zagreb.

This volume was extracted from part two of the bibliography annotated above and contains over 1700 entries. A short list of addenda appears at the end.

334 titles of monographs published in the Slovene Prekmurski dialect form the basis of this bibliography. Prekmurje is a region bordering on Austria, Hungary and Croatia. For many years it was isolated from the main body of Slovene speakers because it was part of Hungary. The citations in this bibliography are given in chronological order with indexes for name, title, publication place, and library that holds the items. There is also a supplementary list of Prekmurski manuscript materials. Entries detail the full bibliographic description, a union listing of holding locations or personal collections, and citations to bibliographies in which the item is cited or other sources that elucidate details of the work.

Within each of these two sections the items are arranged by subject. Besides bibliographic details the entries also provide prices for many of the titles and indicate which ones are printed in Cyrillic. There are indexes for names, titles and publishers.

Dissertations
Unfortunately, dissertations are not covered in the national bibliographies of the former Yugoslav countries, thus specialized bibliographies are the main avenue for locating them. Below are listed some bibliographies held at U of I of dissertations that were produced on Yugoslav territory. More dissertation bibliographies are held by other libraries in the United States, some of which are mentioned in Slavic Studies. A guide to bibliographies, encyclopedias, and handbooks. Janez Logar in his Uvod v bibliografijo also lists some bibliographies of dissertations. Some of the online catalogs for the countries of Former Yugoslav include dissertations. For instance, the descriptions of the catalogs of the national libraries of Croatia and Macedonia indicate that they include dissertations.

The citations are arranged chronologically by date of conferment and include the author’s name and birthdate, title in the vernacular language and translated into English, members of the doctoral committee, defense and conferment dates, and subject area. There are indexes for authors, committee members, subject areas, and departments. See the image below for a dissertation on NGO’s.

Covering the thirty year period of 1945-1975, this retrospective bibliography presents doctoral dissertations from educational institutions in Serbia. The first section lists the dissertations by degree-granting institution and then by year and then by subject. The degrees from the University of Belgrade comprise the bulk of this section. The second section is a keyword index that gives access to more specific subjects. The final section includes an author index, an index by Universal decimal classification, and some charts illustrating statistics about the number of doctoral degrees awarded and in what subject field. The entries show the bibliographic data and the faculty in which the student received the degree. Like all good Yugoslav books, this one too has an introduction in each language of Former Yugoslavia. Because this bibliography was compiled using an early computer program, there are no diacritics in the citations. See the image below for two dissertations from the University of Belgrade produced during 1956 in the area of literature and linguistics.
