Reviews:
  • The 28th edition of this annual collection development tool pulls from the 2008 American Reference Books Annual 530 reviews of print, CD-ROM, and online reference sources suitable for school libraries and small college and public libraries.
    —Library Journal     August 2008
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 needed for your collection development needs.
Features 530 critical reviews of reference books, CD-ROMs, and Websites from the years 2006-2008 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 which type of library it is recommended for. The reviews are pulled from ARBA 2008.
