Librarians who work with business collections will be pleased to see a new edition of this classic work. Daniells is a former reference librarian at the Baker Library of Harvard Business School. This edition has the same general arrangement as the last, published in 1985. There are new sections on competitive intelligence, economic and financial measures, and health-care marketing. Coverage of electronic sources has been expanded, and more entries now note if the source is available online (often full text) or on CD-ROM. In the chapter "Investment Sources," for example, the section "Computerized Financial Data" has been totally rewritten. The detailed annotations that compare a source to similar titles continue to be one of the strong points of this book, along with its lists of trade journals and statistical sources for specific industries. Browsing through this book, one is struck by how many important new sources have appeared in the past seven years: titles from Morningstar, Hoover's, and Gale, for example. This edition has separate subject and author-title indexes; they were combined in the previous one. Lavin's Business Information: How to Find It, How to Use It (2d ed., Oryx, 1991) is more selective, explaining how to use tools and providing sample pages. Strauss' Handbook of Business Information (Libraries Unlimited, 1988) is also more selective. Academic libraries supporting research in business will want a copy of Business Information Sources; the reasonable price means many public libraries can afford one too. But business is such a rapidly changing field, and with the long publishing process, this book is current only as of May_ 1992. Wouldn't it be great if Daniells could keep it updated on an online service such as OCLC or RLIN? (Reviewed Dec. 15, 1993)0520081803Sandy Whiteley

The third edition of Daniells's classic guide is a complete and thorough revision of previous editions. The sources covered are almost exclusively English-language, published in the US, and in print as of May 1992. These three characteristics make the prospect of obtaining any desired volume much more likely. Print sources dominate the guide, and except where no print counterpart exists, electronic and CD-ROM sources are mentioned as counterparts to existing print sources. The first two chapters cover types of sources, the next four business and economic statistics sources, and the remaining 14 various subject areas. Each entry contains complete bibliographic information and a brief annotation. Author/title and subject indexes are very useful and easy to use. Business people, students, and librarians will find something of value in this accessible and useful guide. Highly recommended for all libraries and essential for any business library. D. G.
