United Arab Emirates National Bibliography, 8th Issue, 2001

Abstract

This item is an English-language annotated national bibliography documenting a selected body of publications related to the United Arab Emirates and the Gulf region in its 8th issue for 2001. It opens with a clear title and statement of responsibility, then presents 53 numbered bibliographic entries, each combining standard publication data with a brief descriptive note identifying the subject and scope of the work. The listed titles cover a wide range of fields, including economics, banking, business, geography and travel, architecture, heritage, politics, and broader social and cultural issues connected with the UAE and the Gulf.

The value of the work lies not only in listing publications, but also in its use of short annotations that make the bibliography more informative and accessible for researchers and librarians. The final two pages provide a Subject Index and an Author Index, strengthening its function as a retrieval and reference tool and confirming that the work should be treated as a single integrated bibliographic item rather than a set of separate materials. It therefore serves as a practical documentary resource for bibliographic control and reference work concerning English-language publications on the UAE and the Gulf.
