[Thread Prev][Thread Next] ALA Booklist website
If you haven't seen the ALA Booklist WWW site, go check it out at:
http://www.ala.org/booklist/
This site includes a cumulative index to the book reviews published in
the print version of the ALA booklist, under 'Booklist Archives', as
well as a large number of actual book reviews. The site is supposed to
be updated weekly, so bookmark this in your favorite web browser. KW
Here is a blurb from their homepage:
Welcome to the digital counterpart of the American Library
Association's Booklist magazine. For more than 90 years,
Booklist has been the librarian's leading choice for reviews of the
latest books and (more recently) electronic media. Every year we
review nearly 4,000 books for adults, more than 2,500 titles for
children, more than 500 reference books and electronic reference
tools, and 1,000 other audiovisual materials. We also publish a
wide variety of feature articles including author interviews,
bibliographies, book-related essays by well-known writers, and a
selection of columns.
This web site is designed to introduce Booklist to a new group of
readers and to provide current subscribers with additional services
and points of access. By clicking on the appropriate text below,
you can examine a current selection of reviews, enjoy a wealth of
feature articles, or consult a newly developed cumulative index not
available in the print Booklist. You may also use the site to send
e-mail to our editors, learn how to subscribe to the print Booklist
and to order other Booklist publications.
For book readers bored with the limited selection of reviews
available in daily newspapers and mass-market magazines, here is
your source for more current, more concise information on a wider
range of new books. Check this site every couple of weeks as
new reviews continue to appear.
