Abstract
The paper considers an area by and large neglected by research. Students depend to a large extent on bibliographical reference lists for the material which is used during independent study. Therefore, how such lists are drawn up and the different uses to which they may be put should receive considerably more attention than is normally the case. The paper identifies a number of different kinds of such lists and considers a number of strategies which teachers can adopt to enable students to use them in the most effective manner. These are based on intuition and experience gained from a limited study of examples; the need for more effective research is argued.
