Overview

Essential for reference work and indispensable for collection development, this book allows librarians to locate the best new works in a given field through its convenient subject arrangement; to consult other published reviews from the citations provided; and to compare price, scope, and coverage of reference books in a particular subject area. The approximately 600 books reviewed in this 18th annual edition have been selected from American Reference Books Annual (Libraries Unlimited, 1998) as the most valuable, recent (most from 1997, some from 1996) reference titles for smaller libraries. Lengthy, signed reviews are coded for college, public, and school libraries.
