Review Tools – ccAdvisor and Choice

by edlener, posted on March 28, 2018

The University Libraries now provides access to a new source for database reviews, ccAdvisor. Sponsored by the Charleston Company and Choice, this resource offers reviews of a wide range of library-related databases and platforms. Reviews include details and evaluation on user interface, product content, subscription and purchasing options, authentication methods, and more. Individuals can register at http://ccadvisor.org/user/register/

Complementing ccAdvisor is our existing subscription to Choice Reviews Online.  This database contains book reviews of over 200,000 academic monographs. The interface offers a wide range of search and browsing options to identify books of interest and the reviews provide a helpful assessment tool. Also, of particular importance, are the annual Choice Outstanding Academic Titles lists which identify the best titles of the year.
