Bibliography

A selected list of references from journal articles, book chapters, and other documents that discuss both sound and silence in relation to libraries, as well as neighbouring topics such as the study of sound in public and civic spaces.

A more complete list can be found in this RefWorks shared folder, which includes abstracts (for journal articles)  and tables of contents (for books) in many cases, and which also allows for formatting and exporting in multiple citation styles.
