British Library catalogue Fortran holdings

1

I use the British Library and was curious about their Fortran holdings. I did a simple search of the catalogue and ended up creating a simple database of their Fortran holdings.

Here is an extract

I’ve done simple reports using

year_published
title
author_01
publisher

and ordered the reports by each column

There are 1124 entries.

Here is a link to the complete report

I’ve only included the primary author (author_01) in the report.

The libraries I’m most familiar with:

Edit: a few interesting finds:

Maybe some of the listings allow to amend compilations books and GitHub hosted projects curated by @Beliavsky. Independent from this, were it both technically possible and considered useful to i) save the search queries to ii) retain/add them for instance as an additional entry to Learn — Fortran Programming Language? I hereby presume accessing the underlying links for instance in a quarter of a year later is going to yield the then current holdings of the libraries. Similar to a search for Fortran as part of the book title on worldcat.org,* or Fortran as part of the title in an indexed publication here.

* I think worldcat considers each edition, as well as physical and electronic version as separate item, like the 10,485 records on archive.org with at least one metadatum Fortran.
