Nonbook Materials Core Collection

Product banner image

Created by Librarians, for Librarians

Reflecting the changing landscape of library resources, this collection provides librarian-selected resources from a range of audiobooks, book reviews, games, periodicals, sound recordings, video recordings, websites and other electronic resources for guidance in collection development and maintenance, curriculum support, readers' advisory and general reference.

An Impartial and Expert Aid

By streamlining the fragmented world of non-book materials and making recommended titles easy to find, this essential resource ensures that patrons have the best possible research and entertainment tools available to them. Use this collection to find detailed, descriptive, annotated entries on recommended resources.

The online version of this collection provides more content (two additional recommendation levels, Supplemental and Archival) to aid in selection for larger libraries and subject-level collections, and includes features—such as book review citations and excerpts, book covers, advanced searching and sorting capabilities, and monthly content updates—not available in print.
