I would appreciate any recommendations regarding the best reviewing
resources (selection tools) used by public librarians in small to medium
sized libraries. Your answers to the following questions would be most
helpful--

1. What print reviewing sources do you use? Which do you like best? Why?
(for nonfiction and fiction, juvenile and/or adult materials)

2. What web-based review sources do you use? Which do you like best? Why?
(for nonfiction and fiction, juvenile and/or adult materials)

3. What tips do you have for librarians in small or single staff libraries
to use their time in ordering materials most efficiently? What helps you
save time when you look for reviews and order materials for your libraries?

Thanks very much in advance for your help.
