American Reference Books Annual: 2014 Edition, Volume 45: Arba and Index

This latest edition of "American Reference Books Annual (ARBA)" provides librarians with insightful, critical reviews of all reference resources released in 2013 as well as some from 2012 and 2014. Highlighting both the positive and negative aspects of each resource, users will be able to make informed decisions about which new resources are most appropriate for their collection and their patrons' needs. Collection development librarians who are working with limited budgets--as is the case in practically every library today--will be able to maximize the benefit from their monetary resources by selecting the materials they need most for their collection while bypassing materials that bring limited value to their specific environment.
