The notes on this site frequently refer to other published collections of Ulysses annotations, often using only the authors' surnames:

        Weldon Thornton, Allusions in Ulysses, 2nd ed. (U North Carolina P, 1968)
                The first free-standing published collection of annotations
        Don Gifford with Robert J. Seidman, Ulysses Annot.ated, 2nd ed. (U California P, 1988)
                 A fuller free-standing collection
        James Joyce, Ulysses, notes by Sam Slote (Alma Classics, 2012)
                An edition of the novel with notes at the back
        Sam Slote, Marc A. Mamigonian, and John Turner, Annotations to James Joyce's Ulysses
                (Oxford UP, 2022)  
                The latest, and fullest, free-standing collection of annotations
        Harald Beck and John Simpson, eds., James Joyce Online Notes (www.jjon.org)
                On online, and ongoing, collection of web pages aimed at experienced readers

Notes written from December 2022 onward refer to the Annotations by Slote et al, while most earlier notes refer to Slote's annotated edition of the novel. Post-2022 notes sometimes refer simply to "Slote," neglecting his collaborators for the sake of brevity. Similarly, I usually refer only to "Gifford," mentioning Seidman only when discussing musical allusions and rhetorical tropes, the two areas in which he contributed to Gifford's work. In addition to published collections of annotations I often acknowledge the contributions of interested readers who have communicated with me to point out things that scholars have not yet noticed.

Much less frequently cited are more briefly annotated editions of Ulysses, annotated editions of Joyce's other fictions, and guides for new readers of Ulysses:

The numerous scholarly journal articles mentioned in this site's notes are not listed here. They receive full bibliographical citation, by author, title, journal, volume, date, and page numbers, within the notes. Websites are cited by URL address, occasionally with an active link, and by an author and date if this information is supplied on the site. Unpublished dissertations, theses, and papers are cited simply by author, title, and year of completion.

The great majority of the photographic images that accompany the notes are taken from the Web, and a majority of those come from Wikimedia Commons. Effort is made to identify and cite the creator of the work, its location if displayed in a museum or other public space, and the address of a relatively authoritative website if the image appears on many. The websites of the National Library of Ireland (www.nil.ie) and the National Archives of Ireland (www.census.nationalarchives.ie) have provided many useful photographs. Others were taken in recent years by John Hunt, Senan Molony, Gareth Collins, and Randall Cone (see Contributors).

Video and audio clips come mainly from YouTube. When performers and dates or locations of performance can be identified, they are cited in the captions.
