A few years ago I was researching a paper on the history of the education of Greek women, and I had a very difficult time locating relevant sources because of the unavailability of a comprehensive bibliographical index on Greek education. Even though I was able to find several books on the subject, locating articles was left to chance for lack of systematic references to sources. Recently, this lack has been addressed by the laborious and ambitious task of compiling an index of Greek writings on education produced in the past 160 years. The project has been undertaken by a group of researchers under the supervision of Professor Andreas M. Nouaros of the Department of Education of the University of Thessaloniki with funding from the Ministry of Industry, Energy and Technology and the Ministry of Education. The two volumes published so far include books and articles written between 1830 and 1990. Entries are by alphabetical order of authors' names, volume 1 covering names from A through J, and volume 2 names from K through P. In addition to author's names, each entry includes the tide of work, place and year of publication , number of pages, an abstract, the type of work (essay, research, dissertation , etc.) and classification in a specific area within the field of education. Among the diverse areas covered are philosophy of education, history of education, history of Modern Greek education, comparative education, elementary , secondary, and higher education, moral education, religious education , educational research, methods of teaching, women's education, educational psychology, child and adolescent psychology, education of children with special needs, experimental education, etc. The team responsible for this massive project must be commended for offering to students and researchers in education a needed tool that will fatilitate their research, especially as it pertains to various facets of Greek education. This work, however, is not without its shortcomings, some of which are endemic to projects of this scope. First, given the five-year lapse between Reviews 163 publication of the two volumes, it is unfortunate that the second volume does not include a supplementary bibliography of authors A through J whose work has appeared since the publication of the first volume. One hopes that a supplementary index will be included in the third volume for authors from A through P so that the work may be up to date. Perhaps in the future, when the task of indexing the history of educational publications is finished, the compUers should start producing annual education indexes to include the latest publications. It goes without saying that such a work would also require the development of the field of library science and the training of professionals who would undertake such tasks on a full-time basis. Another disappointment is that the very useful thematic index that accompanies the first volume is missing from the second volume. Lack of a thematic index gready reduces the utility of volume 2, since valuable material remains inaccessible to researchers who are interested in specific topics and not merely in the work of a particular author. Again, one hopes that this deficiency will be overcome in the next volume. Another thing that may puzzle the reader who peruses this bibliography is the inclusion of certain works. An examination of the entries themselves and of the statements by the editor in the Preface of both volumes suggests that the works included fall into the following categories: a) writings by Greek authors on Greek education or education in general, written in Greek or in other languages, published in Greece or abroad, b) translations into Greek of foreign works on education, and c) writings in related fields such as philosophy , psychology, religion, history, or folklore if "the topic they deal with is connected direcdy or indirectly with education" (vol. 1, p. 3). Certainly in an era of increased sensitivity to interdisciplinarity, one understands why writings...
