Literature buffs and book club devotees rejoice! UBC Library just purchased the Book Review Index Plus database, a comprehensive guide to book reviews that includes more than 5 million review citations from thousands of publications. More than 634,000 of the citations also include the full text of the reviews.
Searching is possible by author or title of the book under review, or by the journal in which the review appeared. Advanced Search allows combining author, title, and journal, and also permits searching by reviewer, illustrator, publisher, and additional limiting by length of review, refereed journals only, date, and full-text reviews. Citations can be marked for printing or e-mailing. Also includes reviews of audio books, e-books, and periodicals.
Thanks go to UBC Okanagan for funding this resource.
