While working on a research guide for the 2015-2016 freshman text (Karen Joy Fowler’s We Are All Completely Beside Ourselves), I discovered that OneSearch does a much better job of finding book reviews than the database that is supposedly specialized for this task: Book Review Digest Plus. OneSearch found the same 8 reviews that Book Review Digest has but also located dozens more, including one from a scholarly journal. From now on, OneSearch is going to be my starting point for locating book reviews.
