Choosing an index for
finding a review
You can use indexes to find book reviews. Some specialized
indexes cover only book reviews (Book Review Index,
Book Review Digest), and some indexes cover book
reviews in addition to other kinds of articles. Some book
reviews are available online, while others are available only
in print format.

If your book was published before 1980, you will want to
start with something like the PCI, Periodical Contents
Index, an online index available on the Library Web Site
under " Articles and More" or Book Review Digest (see
the list above). There are many other places to look for book
reviews, so ask for help at the reference desk. The guide,
