The October 2012 issue (V14N2) of The Charleston Advisor, an online review of electronic resources for libraries, features several new reviews, including: Cambridge Histories Online; Index Islamicus; Slavery, Abolition, and Social JusticeWorld Geography and Culture Online; and more.

As a benefit of CRL membership, librarians and specialists at CRL libraries have free access to all TCA online reviews. CRL also invites your ideas on future databases and electronic resources for review. 

To maintain a high level of accuracy and integrity, all reviews are peer-reviewed by librarians. Reviewers come from all fields and all types of libraries, ensuring that products are reviewed by people who actually use them. For more information, visit www.charlestonco.com .
