Evan Farber talks about the reference value of book r and their lack of retrospective indexing — all of which C o m b in e d R e t r o s p e c t iv e In d ex in S c h o l a r l y Jo u r n a l s , E v a n I r a F a r b e r evi led t o 18 Background: W hile w ritin g his In tro d u c tio n and " User's G u id e " to Carrollton's Com bined Retrospective Index Sets (CRIS) — w hich index a ll articles in the com plete backfiles o f 531 journals in History, Political Science, and Sociology — Farb er q uickly came up with the suggestion that we also do a c o m bin e d and cum ulative index to all the boo k reviews w hich appeared in these same journals d u rin g th e ir com plete runs. The fo llo w in g text attempts to re cord the essence o f a num b e r o f discussions w hich were h eld on the subject. Farber: Book reviews in th e scholarly journals o f the social sciences provide a crucible in w hich the o u tp u t of scholarly research is examined, tested, and responded to. Through these reviews, one can trace the acceptance or rejection o f new ideas, observe the establishment or u n d o in g o f in d iv id u a l re p u ta tio n s, and fo llo w intellectual debates, not only between author and reviewer, but also among reviewers themselves. Carrollton: I’ m convinced that these book reviews are valuable reference tools, but aren't most o f them already covered in existing book review indexes? Farber: D efinitely not. O u r C om bined Retrospective Index to Reviews in Scholarly Periodicals, 1886-1974, w ill com plem ent all other book review indexes rather than compete w ith them. Carrollton: Just how does our coverage compare to that o f Book Review Digest? Farber: In terms o f numbers o f scholarly journals covered, o f course, o u r Index covers 472 journals in History, Political Science, and Sociology (59 o f the 531 CRIS Journals contained no book reviews) w hile BRD covers 75 journals, o f w hich fiftee n can be considered scholarly journals in these fields. In discussing Book Review Digest, o f course, we must rem em ber that its emphasis is on literature and popular and sem i-popular works. It includes adult and ju ve n ile fictio n as w ell as a universal range o f n o n -fictio n subject m atter, and, therefore, q u ite correctly concentrates on the broad- based reviewing services to an extent that the m ajority of its entries come from such publications. M eanw hile, in addition to its lim ited num ber o f scholarly journals covered, Book Review Digest has several self-im posed restrictions w hich lim it even its coverage o f the 75 publications w hich it does index. These are described in the "Prefatory N o te " to the May, 1976, issue o f Book Review Digest as follow s: "T o qualify fo r inclusion a book must have been published or distributed in the U nited States. A w ork o f n o n -fictio n must have received tw o or more reviews and one o f fic tio n fo u r or more reviews in the journals selected. Exception is made fo r books reviewed in the Reference and “ Book Review Digest, for instance, is retrospective to 1905 but quite weak in its coverage of scholarly journals. “ Meanwhile, the new indexes which recently began to cover large numbers of scholarly journals are not retrospective. “Therefore, this substantial gap in coverage can only be filled by an index which is retrospective and more thorough in its coverage of scholarly journals.” Subscription Books Reviews section o f the Booklist where one review is deemed sufficient. Reviews must have appeared w ith in eighteen months fo llo w in g a book's pub licatio n ; at least one review must be fro m a journal published in the United States.'' Farber: M any im portant but specialized works are o m itte d because o f these restrictions, especially those published in Great Britain and Canada. Also, many reviews do not appear in those few scholarly journals w hich BRD does cover u n til after the 18-months-after- o rigina l-p ub lica tio n deadline, and thereby escape indexing. Carrollton: I understand there are now tw o cum ulative indexes w hich include all the entries in Book Review Digest from 1905 thro u gh 1970. W ill these cut in to o u r market? Farber: They shouldn't. A lth o ug h valuable as single­ alphabet indexes to the general reviewing media, they merely accumulate the shortcomings o f the annual volumes when it comes to coverage o f scholarly journals. Also, o f course, our coverage goes back to include reviews in journals published before 1905. Carrollton: In any event, I guess we can’t claim to be the first to recognize BRD's "scholarly jou rn a l gap" considering all o f the recent efforts to index large numbers o f these publications. Farber: Precisely. These include Wilson's own Current Book Review Citations, w hich first appeared in 1976, and covers some 1300 titles; A BC /C lio's Am erica: H istory and Life "Part B, Index to Book Reviews” , which began in 1974 and covers 115 exclusively scholarly journals; and Gale Research's Book Review Index, w hich has covered a m ore general collection o f 235 titles since 1965. Carrollton: But as you said, these new indexes are not retrospective. Farb er: C o r r e c t! W h e n it com es to la rg e scale retrospective coverage o f reviews in scholarly journals, our Com bined Index leaves o ff where th e others begin.
