Sources for sci-tech book reviews
January 12th, 2009 3:35 pm | by Catherine Lavallee-Welch
Recently on the STS-L list, someone asked for good sources for book reviews in science and technology. As one of the reasons I started EngLib all that time ago was to create my own archive of interesting-things-to-know-and-remember, I will list the suggested items here by the various contributors to the thread (thanks to them).
- Choice
- Science
- Nature
- American Scientist
- BioScience
- The Scientist
- New Scientist
- Environment
- Science & Technology Libraries
- Issues in Science and Technology Librarianship
- the newsletter of the SLA scientific and engineering divisions, SciTech News
- R.R. Bowker’s Resources for College Libraries online
- Physics Today
- Physics Teacher
- Angewandte Chemie International Edition
- various MAA journals (for mathematics)
- Science Books and Films are said to be OK, but may be more oriented toward public libraries than academic institutions
- E-Streams: Electronic Reviews of Science & Technology References

As the first USF librarian at the Lakeland campus (now Polytechnic), I opened the USF Polytechnic Library in January 2007 and have developed its various services.
I've held positions as information broker, Internet consultant and academic librarian in Canada, the US and Europe.
A blogger since 2001, I've created and maintained several sites in, and outside, of the biblioblogosphere.
I'm active in SLA, and currently serve as on the boards of the Academic Division and the Florida-Caribbean Chapter.
