Bibliographies are lists of works organized around a topic. Annotated bibliographies -- bibliographies with commentary on individual entries -- are especially useful.
Literature reviews are a handy way to get quickly into the scholarly literature. A typical literature-review article will provide a narrative that identifies and describes dozens of journal articles and books.
Encyclopedias provide brief articles. Good encyclopedia articles have bibliographies or recommended reading lists that describe important or controversial works.
