Finding Book Reviews/Criticism
In order to find a book review you will need to know the following: the full
name of the author; the exact title of the book; the year of publication
(this is usually on the reverse of the title page). Most reviews are done within
a year or two of this date. When you are checking the sources listed below check
the year the book was published and the next two or three years to be sure you
have obtained all relevant cites. If you are researching a work of a well known
author, books of criticism or collections of reviews on the author may be available
by doing a Subject search on the author in the Einstein
catalog , the ConnectNY
catalog, or the WorldCat. Books
which are not at RIT can be requested thru ConnectNY or our Info
