This study investigated the method of the bibliographical description of Gyujang-chongmok, or the Annotated Classified Bibliography of Books in Gyujanggak, which was published by Seo Ho-su's in 1781 by the King's command in the Joseon Dynasty. The bibliographical description was examined regarding its title, volume number, written age, name of author, functional word of authorship, and noteworthy examples. However, its great significance in the history of bibliographical description can be found in the fact that Gyujang-chongmok has established entries for annotated works based on the relatively unified method of its bibliographical description.

This study analyzed the annotations of Taoist literatures in "Haedong-munheon-chongnok", "Gyujang-chongmok", "Nupango" and "Hongssi-dokseorok", which were annotated classified bibliographies compiled in Joseon Dynasty. Based on the analyses, the study explored the perspectives from which the annotations were written since Taoism was considered to be heretical from a Confucian point of view. With respect to writing the annotations of Taoist literatures, it was general that the annotations were written objectively about Taoism, rather than relying on a Confucian perspective. Yet, Hong Seok Ju, who wrote "Hongssi-dokseorok" clearly expressed his opinions about the pros and cons of Taoism. Overall, it would be well appreciated that the annotated bibliographies in Joseon Dynasty retained objectivity in Taoist literatures regarded as heresy at that time.
