[LM_NET] GEN: Online Professionally Acceptable Reviews

[Frank Moore <fmoore@SC.RR.COM>]

As I expect most folks are required to do, I must have a professionally 
acknowledged age appropriate review of any book I buy for our school's LMC.

I typically (not always) use the reviews found at our book jobber simply 
for efficiency. Many books that I would like to add to the collection are 
not reviewed by the book jobber.  This is mostly a concern to me when 
buying nonfiction.

Board policy states that unless I personally read the book and make a 
professional judgement as to whether or not the book should be purchased, I 
must use a review from one of the following resources:
    * American Film & Video Association Evaluations
    * The Best in Children's Books
    * Booklist
    * Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books
    * Children's Software Review
    * Horn Book
    * Kirkus Reviews
    * Library Journal
    * Library Talk
    * Multimedia Schools
    * Reference Books for School Libraries
    * School Library Journal
    * Technology Connection
    * VOYA
    * H.W. Wilson Guides (Senior High, Junior High, Children's Catalog)
    * CD-ROMs for Schools and Libraries
My question, what other professionally acknowledged ONLINE resources do the 
members of the list use to get reviews?  I would especially appreciate any 
URLs.

TIA for a reply.

Frank
