I hope this list can help me out. Is there an online review source
for AV materials for an academic library? If there is not an online
source, then what is the best source you use. I am looking for
another source besides the standard Booklist, Library Journal, Choice
and A&CRL. I am looking for something that is comparable to _media
review digest_, Of which our library does not subscribe.
Thank you for taking the time to answer. Have a very nice day.

The best online (and free!) site for online reviews of media materials
is EMRO, Educational Media Reviews Online. It was formerly MC Journal:
The Journal of Academic Media Librarianship.
