MORE ON NUMISMATIC INDEXES
Looking to compile a listing of his writings, last week Serge Pelletier asked about indexes to Numismatic News and World Coin News. Here are reader responses. Thanks, everyone.

David Gladfelter writes: I thought the place to go would be the Canadian Numismatic Bibliography published six years ago by the Numismatic Education Society of Canada, edited by Darryl Atchison. But there are only six entries under Serge Pelletier’s name. The ANS Numismatic Literature might have more, but it is difficult to search. You have to go year by year. Jon Radel writes: Elizabeth Hahn may beat me in pointing this out, but the library catalog at the ANS is worth checking in cases such as this.... Canadian trade dollars / by Remick, Jerry; Pelletier Serge World Coin News Vol 6, no 18 (May 1, 1979) p. 20-26 comes up, among a variety of other articles. American Numismatic Society Librarian Elizabeth Hahn writes: writes: I saw the note in this week's E-Sylum that Serge Pelletier was trying to find a listing of articles he had written over time. I was surprised to see that no one tried the ANS Library catalog, DONUM! We actively index articles and have done so for decades so we have over 100,000 entries for articles alone. A search for Serge Pelletier brought back the following books and articles: donum.numismatics.org/cgi-bin/koha/opac-search.pl?idx=kw&q=Pelletier%20&limit=au:Pelletier,%20Serge . As I've noted before, we do actively index all major numismatic publications, including Coin World, Numismatic News, occasionally World Coin News, and so many others. You can even do an advanced search to look for only articles before a certain date, such as 2004: donum.numismatics.org/cgi-bin/koha/opac-search.pl which brings back 16 results:
I'm embarrassed to say that I hadn't thought to try that! Books are what come to mind when thinking of the ANS Library Catalog. I was aware that articles were in the index, but hadn't realized how many or how up-to-date it was. A search for articles published in 2013 brought back 452 results. Thanks!
