Search-methods are clearly identified at every point. Within the biographical records, reviewers have been classified in various broad categories such as the major occupations which they followed and, where relevant, the fact that they reviewed books in particular foreign languages. Similarly, certain broad classifications are used in indexing the paper's editorial contents. A 'book review', for example, is any article (including an editorial) in which a current book is reviewed. A 'notice' is a description of a book as yet unpublished. Articles discussing books which were not new at the time are classified among other articles, not as reviews. Those which commemorate an author who has died are counted as obituaries. Details of books only appear in the index when a book was reviewed, noticed or listed. However, any book mentioned in the TLS in any context—including an advertisement—will be possible to find by means of a text search by the time the project is completed.
