It is impossible to keep an up to date classification today: the literature
arriving in one day cannot be read by one person only, so...

I use a combination of:

The base is Vaught, in addition we use often Wenz, sometimes still Thiele,
also Moore

+

- books on families
- articles here and there

With all this, you get something correct for 80 %.
