• Based on a complex query submitted using Pro-Cite bibliographic software and the Z39.50 protocol, these citations were compiled by searching the Library’s online catalog for relevant publications using the Library of Congress Control Number (LCCN) to identify records added to the catalog in a given year. For recent catalog records, the first four digits of the LCCN indicate the year the record was first entered into the online system In addition to materials about the country, the results may also include materials published in the country which concern other geographic areas.
