The Reviewing of Children's Science Books
Abstract
The selection of materials for library collections serving children remains heavily dependent on reviews for the identification and evaluation of appropriate items. It is desirable, therefore, that librarians and others who select juvenile books have access to reviews of all titles recently published (although one hundred percent coverage may never actually be possible), that this access be prompt, and that the content of reviews be helpful. That is, the review should describe the book sufficiently for the selector to decide on its usefulness for his/her purposes, and should evaluate the title with authority.
