Sources
In lieu of a separate bibliography, or lists of Works Cited at
the end of notes, this website includes bibliographical
citations in the notes, often in shortened forms referring
readers to this list of Sources. The following published
collections of Ulysses annotations are referenced very
frequently and identified very concisely:
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 (JJON,
www.jjon.org)
An online, and ongoing, collection of web
pages aimed at experienced readers
Notes written from December 2022 onward refer to the Annotations
by Slote and his collaborators, while most earlier notes refer
to Slote's annotated edition of the novel. Post-2022 notes often
refer simply to "Slote" 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
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. They are identified
only by name.
Much less frequently cited are editions of Ulysses with
briefer annotations, annotated editions of Joyce's other
fictions, and guides for new readers of Ulysses:

Scholarly journal articles receive full bibliographical
citation––author, title, journal, volume, date, 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 Unpublished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.
Most books other than volumes of annotations are identified in the notes by author, title, and year of publication. Some, however, come up so frequently that they are cited only by author and/or title:

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.
