9781555706852: The Library Journal Guide to E-Reference Resources

Inhaltsangabe

This guide will help librarians sort through the many subject-specific electronic resources now available. About 200 databases in 16 categories, including some of the best-known and respected e-resources currently available, are assessed by librarians from around the country, according to criteria librarians use most when considering what to buy. Charts rate the resources on scope, writing, design, bells and whistles, ease of use, linking, and value. Many of the databases fare poorly on linking, which is defined here as "cross-searchability with other fields; ability to integrate with and link to other products." Specifics on prices are not given. An annotated directory of publishers is also included. Roncevic is senior editor of the Libray Journal Book review Annotation ©2009 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
