First published in 1952, the four "International Bibliographies of the Social Sciences" have remained at the forefront of social science information publishing. Produced annually in separate volumes--Anthropology, Economics, Political Science, and Sociology-- the IBSS is the essential tool for librarians, university departments, research institutions, and any public or private institution whose work requires access to up-to-date and comprehensive knowledge of the social sciences.

1990 heralds an exciting new direction for the IBSS. We are proud to announce that the IBSS will be produced under the editorial direction and authority of the British Library of Political and Economic Science, edited at the London School of Economics, one of the world's leading social science institutions.

The Economics volume covers: economic activity, organization of production (automation, productivity, business management, collective bargaining, etc.), agricultural and industrial production, prices and markets, money and finance, income and income distribution, social economics and policy, and international economics.
