  The main building blocks for this bibliography are the lists compiled by those dedicated workers, Leigh Baker and Alice Crossland, both of whom have long since left Papua New Guinea. A few earlier items from the New Guinea Collection at the University of Papua New Guinea&146;s Michael Somare Library have also been added. The resulting collection, which is rich in "grey literature", will be of service to those few who maintain an interest in libraries in Papua New Guinea. It will certainly be easier than using the previous dispersed sources.
