Description

Essential for collection development specialists in small and medium-sized libraries, RRB will help users quickly identify the best, most affordable, and most appropriate new reference materials in any field. 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 500-plus reviews will help librarians quickly identify the best, most affordable, and most appropriate new reference materials in any given field. All reviewer commentsboth positive and negativehave 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.
