Review
Recommended Reference Books For Small And Medium-Sized Libraries And Media Centers 1995 identifies and review the most useful and affordable reference sources available for smaller college, public, and school libraries. Gleaned from the more than 1,500 reviews in "American Reference Books Annual 1995", it covers 525 titles (most published in 1994, with some from 1993). The signed critical reviews provide detailed information on the nature, scope, and usability of each work. Published reviews from professional journals are often noted, and in many cases the work is compared to similar titles. Coded entries indicate whether the title is recommended for purchase by smaller college libraries, public libraries, or school media centers. Complete bibliographic and ordering information (including Library of Congress and Dewey Decimal classification numbers when available) are furnished. Organized into 37 chapters in four main sections (General Reference Works; Humanities; Social Sciences; and Science and Technology) and with the remaining sections subdivided by topic and format, librarians are able to locate new material in a specific subject area; consult other published reviews; compare price, scope and coverage of reference books in any subject area, and to select new reference works as needed. A subject index and an author/title index provides access to information. The library is an increasingly vital resource for the economic, as well as cultural and intellectual health of the community it serves. Every library's reference book collection is the heart and core of that vitality and utility to that community. Highly recommended and a priority acquisition choice! -- Midwest Book Review
