Selected from the last ten years of ARBA (1986-1996), with a number of new articles added, these reviews identify, describe, and evaluate subject dictionaries and encyclopedias that are useful in all types of libraries. Focus is on works still available, with only the most serviceable sources chosen for inclusion. Reviews discuss the usefulness or importance of a given work; its organization and contents; and its intended audience, special features, and strengths and weaknesses. Providing complete bibliographic information as well as reviews, this guide is an excellent tool for reference collection development. The reviews have been carefully re-edited and updated as necessary. Entries include title, author or editor, imprint, pagination, price, and ISBN. The organization of the text reflects the arrangement of ARBA, with 36 subject chapters divided into three main sections-Social Sciences, Humanities, and Science and Technology. Within chapters, works are arranged from the general to the specific,

This revision significantly updates the 1986 edition, ed. by Bohdan S. Wynar et al. (CH, Dec'86), retaining only 148 original entries. Awe (Jefferson County Public Library, Arvada, CO) selected 1,086 titles reviewed in American Reference Books Annual by 307 scholars and librarians. Entries are first divided by the social sciences, humanities, and science and technology, then into the various disciplines in each area. Individual records provide full bibliographic information, price, and reviews varying in length from one paragraph to one page. Omitted from the new edition are citations to reviews published in other journals. Author/title and subject indexes close the work. The book nicely complements the American Library Association's Guide to Reference Books, 11th edition (CH, Jun'96), since only 473 entries appear in both sources. Of course, one will find similar reviews in Choice, Library Journal, and ARBA itself. However, librarians will find this handy volume valuable for reference, collection development, and collection evaluation. Recommended for all libraries. S. L. Hupp; University of Pittsburgh
