One less review source
Posted by: Jessica Moyer
In a news bulletin, PW has just announced the news that Kirkus Reviews will be closing as part of a media sale. Well known for its anonymous and sometimes brutally honest reviews, Kirkus has been an important tool in library collection development for many years.
This seems to be the year for the closure of beloved print publications as the Kirkus closure comes only a few weeks after the end of Gourmet after more than 60 years of monthly publications.
When it comes to reference reviews, how much will Kirkus be missed at your library? Is there a need for a new review resource to replace Kirkus?
