Benson, L. Duncan, E. & Wittig, J. (Contributors). //Online Chaucer Bibliographies //website. Retrieved February 28, 2010, from [] The //Online Chaucer Bibliographies// website is a site dedicated to the collection of Chaucer documents and bibliographies. The website itself is a sort of bibliography of bibliographies. There are 3 main contributors with several other assisting contributors. All contributors appear to be academic scholars with an intense interest in Chaucer and his works and all affiliated with a university According to the authors and contributors of the website, the purpose of the website is to organize and provide navigational aids for Chaucer websites and to encourage Chaucer studies at all levels of education. The website loads easily and without any popup advertisements. The initial page is what contributors call the ‘physical’ home site. This page is the jumping off point for research, or as mentioned before, a sort of bibliography of bibliographies. On the homepage, users have several options for research. There is an index page for easy navigation of the website. Once users clicked on the Chaucer Bibliography link, a plethora of links are presented; there are approximately 30 different bibliographies to choose from. Each link title is highlighted in crimson. Then, a brief annotation of the website is given. This includes the content and arrangement of the website. Subjects include Chaucer’s life, his work, and the life and times. Here is an example from the bibliography home page:

Each of the web links offer something a little different. One web link may provide a chronological, year by year, list of bibliographies related to Chaucer and his work. Another link, such as [] offers a search option within the bibliography. So users can search for specific terms in a basic search option or they can choose to use the guide word search option. There is also a link for an Indexed Bibliography from //The Chaucer Review//. For a general idea about the depth of this website, I will list some of the web link titles. They include, //Cambridge History of English Literature: Chaucer, Donald Hoffer’s Chaucer Bibliography,// //[|Derek Pearsall's Thirty-Year Working Bibliography for Chaucer and Middle English Literature 1970-2000], //// [|University of Memphis Bibliography for The Canterbury Tales], and Books and Papers Published About Chaucer in Korea. //The scope of this website and its listings of bibliographies is immense. Anyone interested in researching Chaucer can find what they are seeking here, I am fairly certain.

__Reviewer’s Opinion __ I was surprised and impressed with the colossal amount of information provided in one place about a single individual. This is an online resource that would be best suited for high school students. If I were the media specialist in a high school, I would definitely keep this website visible and available for literature teachers and students. This website is free, which is also a huge plus! The website is organized for easy navigation and efficiency. Most high school students would be able to easily locate information about Chaucer with little assistance.
