On Finding Book Reviews

The most efficient way to find book reviews is to do a phrase search in EagleSearch for the title of the item being reviewed (by placing it in quotation marks), and then filtering the results by "Reviews." For reviews of scholarly books, try Atla Religion Database with AtlaSerials PLUS®, or for reviews of less technical materials try Christian Periodical Index (CPI). In Atla Religion Database with AtlaSerials PLUS®, click the advanced search tab, key in the title and/or author, and select "book review" as the document type. In CPI, limit the search to reviews by keying in dt=review before keying in the title and/or author. You may also search for book reviews in most other EBSCOhost databases. For book reviews available in open access religion periodicals, do a phrase search for the book title in Theological Journals Search.
