Earlier this month, Dr. Peter Jacso published his review of Google Book Search in his Peter’s Digital Reference site on Gale.com. We also shared a few comments and also linked to Mick O’Leary’s new review of Google Book Search. As many of you know, Peter usually writes two reviews each month and now his second review for November has been posted:

Publishers Weekly Large Open Access Collection of Book Reviews
He writes:

The largest collection of book reviews published since 1987 in the print and online edition of Publishers Weekly has become open access (along with other materials in Publishers Weekly). Although only the title and some bibliographic data elements (ISBN, author, publisher, BISAC subject) are searchable, not the full text itself, the full text of the reviews can be displayed and printed. The informative reviews help in selecting the most appropriate books for adults, children and young adults in all genres, and on all subjects. The software has some annoying deficiencies that may confuse the users, but are easy to fix.
