Special Reference Book Review Section

This quarter, students in Matt Saxton's section of LIS 520 (also known as Information Services, Resources and Collections) wrote reviews of new reference books. The assignment asked students to evaluate the books based on criteria such as authority, scope, organization, format, range and treatment. The following reviews were selected for your edification and enjoyment - so sit back, relax and enjoy!
