"The World Shakespeare Bibliography Online provides annotated entries for all important books, articles, book reviews, dissertations, theatrical productions, reviews of productions, audiovisual materials, electronic media, and other scholarly and popular materials related to Shakespeare and published or produced between 1964 and 2005. The scope is international, with coverage extending to more than 118 languages and representing every country in North America, South America, and Europe, and nearly every country in Asia, Africa, and Australasia. The more than 103,331 records in this version cite several hundred thousand additional reviews of books, productions, films, and audio recordings.

"Each entry consists of a citation (giving full bibliographical information--or its equivalent for non-print media) and a descriptive annotation; entries for productions list cast and other personnel. In addition, entries for books, films, recordings, videos, and software cite reviews; and many entries include hyperlinks with related records (e.g., responses and continuations). In general, the latest edition or revision of an document is cited (with earlier editions or versions incorporated into the annotation); reprints and translations are cited in the annotation to the original document."
