Monograph 653841 223242511 2008-07-03T05:49:45Z CJLL Wright 259138 Quick-adding category "Academic publishing" (using [[WP:HOTCAT|HotCat]]) {{Wiktionary|monograph}} A '''monograph''' is a scholarly [[book]] or a [[treatise]] on a single subject or a group of related subjects, usually written by one person. It is a one-time [[publication]] that is complete in itself. It may refer to a detailed, well-documented work on a limited subject or a person. In [[library and information science]], a monograph is a nonserial publication complete in one [[volume]] or a finite number of volumes. Thus it differs from a serial publication such as a [[magazine]], [[journal]] or [[newspaper]].<ref>Prytherch, Raymond John, ''Harrod's librarians' glossary and reference book : a directory of over 10,200 terms, organizations, projects and acronyms in the areas of information management, library science, publishing and archive management'', 10th edn (Aldershot, Hants, England ; Burlington, VT: Ashgate, 2005), p. 462.</ref> == In popular culture == In [[Sir Arthur Conan Doyle]]'s stories, [[Sherlock Holmes]] repeatedly refers to the monographs he's written on such varied topics as the distinction between varieties of tobacco ash, the tracing of footsteps, and the influence of a trade upon the form of a hand. == References == <references/> * [http://library.boisestate.edu/Reference/BBRIN/jargon.htm Library Jargon Defined (Boise State University, Albertsons Library)] == Samples == * [http://ibiblio.org/pha/monos/152/index.html Japanese monograph 152]<br />POLITICAL STRATEGY PRIOR TO OUTBREAK OF WAR, PART V<br />Prepared by Military History Section Headquarters, Army Forces Far East<br />Distributed by:Department of the Army Office of the Chief of Military History Washington 25 D.C. courtesy of ibiblio.org. * [http://www.9-11commission.gov/staff_statements/911_TerrFin_Monograph.pdf] Sample of a monograph, the [[9/11 Commission]] on [[Terrorist Financing]].
