Recommended Reference Books for Small and Medium-sized Libraries and Media Centers

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 reviews will help librarians quickly identify the best, most affordable, and most appropriate new reference materials in any given field. All reviewer comments--both positive and negative--have 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 for the development of your collection.Hysell, Shannon Graff is the author of 'Recommended Reference Books for Small and Medium-sized Libraries and Media Centers ', published 2007 under ISBN 9781591585268 and ISBN 1591585260.
