This annual Buying Guide feature has two purposes. First, it gives readers a convenient directory of companies that produce Web-based resources for the academic market. Second, it offers the producers of those products a no-charge venue in which they may tell librarians what they think is most important about their new and enhanced products. This is the second year that the Buying Guide is available on the Web; it will remain there throughout the year to subscribers of Choice Reviews Online.  The CRO edition carries live links to all Web URLs in the entries, facilitating access to the company and product sites mentioned in each listing.
    Those who responded to a survey of Choice Reviews Online users in 2007 told us that they appreciated the directory. More than 60 percent of users familiar with the feature find it “very useful.” The online availability enhances its usefulness even more. This year we have retained and updated basic contact information for every company that has contributed to the directory in past years. Nearly 100 companies are represented with name, address, telephone and fax numbers, URL for the basic corporate Web site, and e-mail address for potential customer inquiries.
    Many companies (though not as many as we would like) answered the invitation to provide more information about their upcoming new products and enhancements. The expanded listings for those companies present a short company profile, written by the submitting company, a statement of general pricing policy and directions for requesting free trials, and smaller capsule listings of what’s new, or being emphasized by the vendor. Specific products listed are those that have been or are expected to be introduced or substantially improved in 2008 or early 2009. 
    Last year we asked companies to describe training and learning opportunities they offer to customers or the library community at large, and this year we expanded “training and learning” to include “community.” There is a definite trend toward “Librarian’s Resource” pages within the overall corporate Web site, where companies offer user guides, PowerPoint presentations, or other types of demos in addition to licensing, customer administration facilities, and industry information. Increasingly, we see the availability of sponsored articles, blogs, and RSS feeds. Be sure to scan the Training, Learning & Community sections of the directory listings, not just for specific product training for you and your users, but for a wealth of URLs that lead to complimentary sources of general information useful to librarians.
 Following, by broad discipline, is a short list highlighting new works and enhancements that Choice readers can expect to see this fall and winter.

REFERENCE and CROSS-DISCIPLINARY
    There are a number of enhancements to interfaces scheduled in the near future. EBSCOhost 2.0, coming in fall 2008, promises to be “technologically sophisticated, yet familiar.” Paratext’s Reference Universe updated search interface includes new and improved exporting and collection development features. As of this summer, Paratext also had new interfaces for 19th Century Masterfile and Public Documents Masterfile.
    Facts on File highlighted enhancements to Ferguson Career Guidance Center, and a complete redesign of World Atlas, both taking place in the fall.
 Also during the fall, Who’s Who in American Politics and Who’s Who in American Art, already digitized but in separate files, will be completely integrated into the comprehensive Marquis Who’s Who on the Web database.
    Beginning in 2009, Duke University Press e-book collection, on the ebrary platform, will provide perpetual access to its entire backlist so long as the current year (c. 100 titles) is purchased. IGI Global also offers perpetual access to its InfoSci-Journals collection.
    OCLC now offers e-audiobooks of best-selling, popular, classic, and contemporary titles through NetLibrary. OCLC also announced a Web Harvesting Service that will allow users to capture and manage Web-based documents and sites. EZproxy, the popular proxy server software acquired by OCLC in January 2008, is now available in version 5.0.
    In additional platform news, Readex launched Crossroads: A Community for Students, Teachers, and Scholars in spring 2008; it employs Web 2.0 social networking techniques for individual and group research.
    Finally, Choice is pleased to announce that new newsletters and a Publisher’s Choice “Browse the Book” option have been added to ChoiceReviews Online.

HUMANITIES
    There are interesting new products in the humanities. InteLex is preparing three collections on Ralph Waldo Emerson and two on William James. IDC Publishers will bring out Anti-Calvin and The Huguenots in the third quarter of this year.
    Linguistic Bibliography is now published by Brill, which is expanding its coverage and will offer a searchable database in 2009. Duke University now publishes the Journal of Music Theory, making it available on the HighWire platform. 
    Alexander Street Press will issue Opera in Video and Dance in Video during the fall. Both offer Web 2.0 features, including a clip-making feature that allows users to annotate and share. Columbia Granger’s World of Poetry Online is also scheduled for an updated interface and now includes 190,000 poems. Victorian Fiction, from Litir Database, now offers coverage of fifty-one novelists of the period.

SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY
    Annual Reviews is increasing the number of volumes it publishes; there is now an Annual Review in analytical chemistry, and a volume in marine science will appear in January.
    Cambridge University Press announced that the Journal of Fluid Mechanics digital archive is now complete.
    Just out is GEOnetBASE for the geosciences, a new e-book collection from the CRC Press imprint of Taylor and Francis.
    IGI Global has expanded its InfoSci-Journals and InfoSci-Books collections with InfoSci-Cases, and it offers specialized collections on InfoSci-EndUserComputing, focusing on research regarding ergonomics, gender and Internet users, and measurement of end-user computing satisfaction.  InfoSci-Medical offers collection treating biomedical research, medical practice and healthcare delivery, and administration.

SOCIAL SCIENCES
    In new products, Colonial-Period Korea receives treatment from IDC Publishers, which will release a digitized collection of rare sources from the C.V. Starr East Asian Library of Columbia University in the fall. Africa Development Indicators Online, a statistical database with accompanying essays, will be launched by the World Bank in 2009.
    Foreign Broadcast Information Service, which consists of transcripts of foreign broadcasts and news, translated into English where necessary, is now available from Readex. Brill will have e-book collections on international law and on human rights and humanitarian law by the end of this year. IGI Global has launched a specialized collection of research on e-government, including topics such as digital government and democratic legitimacy, and new media and democratic leadership.
 New interfaces have been produced for ABC-CLIO’s History Reference Center, for Facts on File’s World News Digest and Issues and Controversies, and for Columbia Gazetteer of the World Online. The World Bank e-Library is promising that its fall 2008 updated interface will be “more flexible and better-looking,” with better search options and metadata.
    Liberty Fund, Inc. makes its Online Library of Liberty available free for educational purposes on the Web; this year it has added the availability of MARC records and a tool for the development of user-created reading lists for sharing by all users.
    The American Indian Experience is coming from Greenwood in October, a brand-new collection in its American Mosaic series, offering full-text content from more than 150 volumes. Additional content will be delivered through a time line, primary documents including treaties, images, and a blog.
    Readex is launching a collection of 180 Civil War-era newspapers called The Civil War: Antebellum Period to Reconstruction, in the fall, and Alexander Street Press is assembling photographs, pictures, and images into its American Civil War product, to be ready by the end of 2008.
 Since Alexander Street Press announced its forthcoming The Sixties project with an appearance by Tom Hayden at ALA’s Midwinter Conference in 2008, it’s not news that this noteworthy decade will be well documented soon. Unfortunately, it’s not expected until the second quarter of 2009. We’ll see the intriguing Twentieth Century Advice Literature this fall from Alexander Street, and Greenwood scheduled July release of its Pop Culture Universe, which treats the decades from the 1920s to the present.

TRAINING, LEARNING & COMMUNITY
    As mentioned earlier, most producers are concentrating a wide variety of training aids, in several formats, on “librarian” pages of their Web sites. Some companies still offer on-site sessions, but that expensive method is clearly giving way to Web-based training, which may be generic but often can be scheduled at user convenience.
    The American Psychological Association presents a good example of a vendor-sponsored librarian resource center. Its extensive site has sections for news, pricing, publications, licensing, vendors, and industry involvement, in addition to training and user support. Part of its documentation includes very specific definitions of its age group and methodology definitions and a useful vendor comparison chart (APA content is hosted on eleven platforms in addition to its own proprietary APA PsycNET). Another unique user support tool is the Collaboration Distance feature, now free on MathSciNet from the American Mathematical Society, which finds the shortest publication distance between two authors.
    The move to social networking is represented most frequently by blogs. Columbia University Press produces a useful and frequently updated blog, with links to interesting and entertaining free material by and about its authors. Alexander Street Press offers four discipline-specific blogs to keep readers up to date on its developing products; the general Alexander Street blog features “occasional thoughts on electronic publishing from President Stephen Rhind-Tutt.” Finally, in true community spirit, ABC-CLIO recommends not one of its own, but the independent blog No Shelf Required as a forum for librarians and vendors to learn about and discuss the continually changing world of electronic reference.
    These are just the highlights. More improvements and new products and practices are detailed in the Buying Guide directory in the following space.

    Choice thanks the companies that have given information for this directory and invites all to use the link that appears on the Choice advertisers’ page http://www.ala.org/ala/acrl/acrlpubs/choice/advertisersinfo/info.cfm to provide their information next April.

Anti-Calvin: The Catholic Response to Calvin’s Writings in Sixteenth-Century France
Available: Q3 2008
http://www.primarysourcesonline.nl/
By the sixteenth century, Protestant authors had grasped the importance of winning over the souls and minds of the French people; consequently the production of Genevan presses was predominantly in French.  If the Catholic Church wished to preserve its position in France, it was vital to respond to the gauntlet thrown down by the Calvinist leaders.  It is this response, in the form of writings of the French Catholic authors against Calvin and his teachings, which is presented here.

The Huguenots
Available: Q3 2008
http://www.primarysourcesonline.nl/
This collection offers a comprehensive survey of the original writings of the French Huguenot authors, from the first stirrings of radical dissent in the 1530s to the end of the century.  The selection showcases original writings of authors writing within France and for an exclusively French audience.  Of special interest are the anonymous works that set the tone as the Huguenot movement emerged as an autonomous force during the early part of the 1560s.

Colonial-Period Korea: Rare Sources from the C.V. Starr East Asian Library
Availability: Q3 2008
http://www.primarysourcesonline.nl/
This collection brings together three distinct groups of publications dating from the colonial period.  It includes Japanese publications on Korea, Western (mostly English) early impressions of Korea, and Korean colonial period literature. The collection is particularly important and timely because it preserves the intellectual content of publications which are at risk of disappearing permanently–many of these volumes are unavailable anywhere else–and because it makes rare materials more readily accessible to a larger audience.
