Science Fiction Research Bibliography

A Bibliography of Science Fiction Secondary Materials

 in Holland Library, Washington State University
 
 

If you are doing research on science fiction, this bibliography is a good place to start. It is not a complete bibliography of SF research, only of that in the WSU library; and the call numbers may not match those in other libraries. It does not include works of science fiction as such.
