内容説明
"Science and Technology Annual Reference Review (STARR)" reviews reference books and series in the fields of science, engineering, medicine and agriculture published mainly in the United States and Canada, but it also includes foreign-published books distributed by United States distributors. Science and technology is an area that is not as well reviewed as other disciplines; STARR proposes to fill this need. Collection development librarians continue to be faced with budget restrictions and seek as much help as possible in determining which purchase to make . Reference publications are often expensive, overlapping in coverage, and misleadingly titled. Accordingly, it is becoming more and more common for libraries to delay purchase of certain books until a review has been published; public and school libraries have long followed this policy and academic libraries are beginning to follow suit. STARR will be of special use to those collection development officers who seek a second opinion when considering the purchase of a reference book - especially a new, expensive title.
The 1991 edition of STARR contains 804 entries and includes books published in 1989 and 1990, along with some important 1987 and 1988 imprints. Although STARR seeks to review the most important new titles when they are known, in most cases only books received from the publishers are included, New paperback editions of earlier hardback editions are also included. Each volume of STARR contains descriptive and, in most cases, evaluative reviews of reference materials at all levels: school, public, college, university, research, and home. Reviews are grouped into 11 chapters: agriculture, astronomy, biology, chemistry, computer science, earth science, general science, mathematics, medicine, physics and technology.
