The reviews will be emailed to you each month, and you can also view the current month’s subset online.
- Save selected reviews to any number of “Lists” (e.g., Priority 1, Priority 2, research, a specific course, etc.
- Save search strategies to track things like new books from a particular publisher or author, or all of your own reviews. “Saved Search Strategies” are on the Advanced Search option.
Sending Acquisition Requests to Your Liaison
There are several ways you can notify your liaison of items you recommend for purchase by the library.
Searching and Viewing Reviews
Following are selected tips for searching and viewing reviews. See the Top Tips for Using CRO, the FAQ and the Help Section at Choice Reviews Online for more detailed instructions.
- Keywords automatically stem on the right, so “web” will pick up “Webster” and other words beginning with web.
- Click an ISBN link to open “Find in a Library” in Open WorldCat in a new window. WorldCat will recognize your location and display Longwood holdings first.
- When you click a title to see the full review, the URL is a persistent URL that can be copied for access anywhere on campus. It will not work off-campus.
- The default sort order for search results is Publication Year (descending) and then Title (Ascending). You can change the primary and secondary sort from the results page.
- You may not post reviews on a web site or distribute them outside of the Longwood community.
