[Online Books]
- Online Encyclopedias and Books:
- Charleston Advisor (Charleston Company)
- Provides peer reviewed critical evaluations of web products for
information professionals using a rating system that scores each product based
on content, searchability, price, and contract options/features. Reviews include a
narrative description of the product and its content, examination of its strengths
and weaknesses, citations to other reviews of the product or related materials,
opinions gleaned from web-based opinion forms, and usage experiences. In
the case of opposing opinions, an opposing composite score may be calculated. Also
includes reports from the field, opinion editorials, and other non-review articles.
- Children's Literature
Comprehensive Database (CLCD)
- Provides an extensive array of information about more
than 900,000 children's books, video and audio recordings,
film strips, and other children-focused media.
Records come with all of the official cataloging data, subject
terms, and annotations. In addition, CLCD contains more
than 130,000 critical reviews of thousands of children's books,
ranging from the earliest baby board books to novels and
nonfiction for young adults, and an average of more than 1500
new reviews are added to the database monthly. Includes
