Recent TCA Electronic Resource Reviews [1]
The latest issue [4] (V15N3) of The Charleston Advisor [5], an online review of electronic resources for libraries, reviews several historical databases of interest, on the First World War, [6] and Vietnam and American foreign policy, and American politics and society from JFK to Watergate [7], as well as Artemis: Literary Sources [8] (a review of Gale’s new platform), Early European Books [9].
The fall issue [10] (V15N2) included reviews of: Black Freedom I: Federal Government Records, and Black Freedom II: Organizational Records and Personal Papers [11]; Caribbean Search [12]; and Statista [13]. That issue also featured “Highlights from the Thirteenth Annual Readers’ Choice Awards,” [14] including the award for Best Pricing: the May 2013 executive order for “Making Open and Machine Readable the New Default for Government Information.”
As a benefit of CRL membership, librarians and specialists at CRL libraries have free access to all TCA online reviews. CRL also invites ideas [15] on future databases and electronic resources for review.
To maintain a high level of accuracy and integrity, all TCA reviews are peer-reviewed by librarians. For more information, visit www.charlestonco.com [16]. To see all Charleston Advisor product reviews over the last ten years, visit their scoreboard [17].
