We attempt to provide good coverage of the northern Canadian TK literature, but are certainly not comprehensive. The reason that I have an exact count of our TK citations is that we have been tagging them for a possible future TK bibliography. Our database contains descriptions of research projects as well as bibliographic citations, but we have not been tagging TK project descriptions so they are not included in the above count. Please have a look at the description of ASTIS on our Web site, Philip, and then contact me directly. If you are doing a selective bibliography you may just want to use our existing Internet or CD-ROM services to find the citations that are of interest to you. If your bibliography is intended to be more comprehensive then we may be able to collaborate with you by sharing records in some way. We have software to make databases available for searching on the Web, so you may want to make use of our services in that regard. When does your bibliography have to be completed? Good luck with the bibliography.
