North Carolina Libraries - Guidelines for reviews Guidelines for the Preparation of Reviews for North Carolina Libraries North Carolina Libraries is the quarterly journal of the North Carolina Library Association.
Reviewers are librarians or authorities on North Carolina.
Reviewers are not paid for their work, but they keep the books they review. Mention the author's background and qualifications. If possible, compare the new book to the earlier ones. For works of fiction, consider point of view, setting, plat believability, success of character development, and appropriateness of length. For works of nonfiction, consider comprehensives, nature of source material, objectivity, currentness, and illustrative matter.
