The World Shakespeare
Bibliography Online is updated
frequently throughout the year
and is international in its scope as
it represents every country in
North America, South America
and Europe, and nearly every
country in Asia, Africa and
Australia.
Published in more than 92 lan
guages, the current version
includes more than 74,500
entries.
Harner said he was brought to
A&M to assume editorship of the
bibliography upon the retirement
of Dr. Harrison T. Meserole, who
brought the bibliography from
Penn State to A&M in 1985.
As editor of the bibliography,
Hamer identifies anything pub
lished or produced about
Shakespeare
throughout the
world.
"We have
some 100 con
tributors through
out the world.
Among them are
the major
Shakespeare
scholars in their
respective coun
tries who report
on material that
we cannot obtain
or in languages
we are unable to
read in the bibli
ography office,” Hamer said.
Being in constant correspon
dence with scholars, publishers
and theatrical companies is a
must, he said.
Hamer edits 4,500 to 4,700
submissions for an annual print
volume, which is an issue of the
journal Shakespeare Quarterly, as
well as through the World
Shakespeare Bibliography
Online.
Working alongside Hamer are
a full-time technical editor and
three graduate research assistants.
Many graduate students are
attracted to A&M because of the
presence of the bibliography,
Hamer said.
One graduate student from
China came to A&M because of
an opportunity to work with the
Wography. Another graduate
student is a Romanian scholar

who spent her Fulbright year at
A&M for the opportunity work
on the bibliography, he said.
“Graduate students are espe
cially drawn to A&M not only
because of the prestige that the
presence of the World
Shakespeare Bibliography and
Shakespeare Yearbook confers,
but also because of the opportuni
ties to work as research assistants
for both publications,” he said.
Brooks said the bibliography
provides the needed training for
graduate students.
“The WSB has been a major
source of training and profession
alization for graduate students
here, a number of which have fin
ished their Ph.Ds and gotten
excellent teaching positions,”
Brooks said.
The World Shakespeare
Bibliography Online has won the
Bestennan Medal, given for the
outstanding bibliography pub
lished in 1996,
and the
Besterman
M c C o 1 v i n
Medal, given for
the most out
standing elec
tronic reference
work published
in 2001.
“These
awards bring
considerable
prestige to the
University and
are awarded by
the Library
Association of Great Britain,”
Hamer said. “The bibliography is
the only work ever to receive both
medals.”
Many of the books and jour
nals the bibliography receives are
donated to Evans Library, thus
benefiting students and faculty,
Hamer said.
“As more and more of our col
leagues in early modem studies at
other schools throughout the
country learn about the exciting
things happening in Shakespeare
studies at A&M, I think it will
have a significant impact on our
ability to recruit graduate stu
dents,” Brooks said. “One thing a
prospective Aggie can be sure of:
when they come to A&M they
have an opportunity to study
Shakespeare in an English depart
ment that has one of the most
vital and exciting Renaissance
Studies programs in the country.”

“Tryouts began in February, “ he said. “That is when you begin
practicing as much as you can.”
Sajewski said he is confident next year will be a success.
“The three of us have a good working relationship,” he said.
“Jonathan is the best man for the job because everyone respects him.
We also respect each other, and I see a very good future for us.”
Hurst said he looks forward to being a drum major despite the
stress it might bring. He said he understands the commitment need
ed to carry on the band’s traditions.
“We get things organized and I am sure we will have an amazing
band next year,” he said.
Rhea said the head drum major has the final say on several
aspects of the band’s performances, but the position requires collab
oration from the other two drum majors.
“The positions are a team effort and the three that were chosen
work very well together,” Rhea said.
