The World Shakespeare Bibliography Online is a searchable online database that bills itself as "the most comprehensive record of Shakespeare-related scholarship and theatrical productions published or produced worldwide between 1960 and 2011." As of 2011, it contained over 127,500 annotated entries.[1]
In 2001, the Chartered Institute of Library and Information Professionals (CILIP) awarded the WSB Online the Besterman/McColvin Medal for outstanding electronic reference work.[1] In 2006, this ever-expanding digital reference tool, compiled by Dr. James Harner of Texas A&M University, was named as an Outstanding Academic Title by Choice Magazine.[2] The World Shakespeare Bibliography Online is currently edited by Dr. Laura Estill (also of Texas A&M University).
WSB Online is searchable by author, title, subject, keyword, date, language, publisher, and periodical title. It is international in scope, covering and representing every country in North America, South America, and Europe, and nearly every country in Africa, Asia, and Oceania.[3]
