  • This volume is a valubale selection list and can be used to fill in areas where digital resources have yet to make an impact.
    —Teacher Librarian     April 2008
  • This volume consists of a list of recommended reference books for small and medium-sized libraries and media centers. Recommendations consist of book reviews from the current edition of American Reference Books Annual and are organized by general reference works (subdivided by type of book), social sciences, humanities, and science and technology (these last three subdivided alphabetically). The volume lists dictionaries, encyclopedias, indexes, directories, bibliographies, guides, atlases, gazetteers, and others. Both subject and author/title indexes are included.

Description: Based on the highly acclaimed reviews of American Reference Books Annual, RRB features only those resources that have been recommended for purchase by small and medium-sized academic, public, or school libraries. Written by over 200 subject specialists, the reviews will help librarians quickly identify the best, most affordable, and most appropriate new reference materials in any given field. All reviewer comments—both positive and negative—have been retained, since even recommended works may be weak in one respect or another. If your budget precludes ARBA, this tool will provide you with the necessary information for the development of your collection.

Features 530 critical reviews of reference books, CD-ROMs, and Web sites from the years 2004-2006 written by academic, public, and school librarians or professionals in the field. The reviews are selected based on their appropriateness for school libraries, small college libraries, or small public libraries (i.e., lower priced, highest quality, etc.), and feature a coded letter (i.e., C, P, S) indicating the type of library for which the medium is recommended. The reviews are pulled from ARBA 2007.
