Working with all of the titles YBP profiled on approval in 2004 in relation to how they were treated for all members of the OhioLINK consortium has yielded a variety of interesting data to study. Several angles that should be of interest to collection development librarians are the effects of reviews on when titles are ordered, what type of libraries order them and how the books are purchased-on approval or by firm order. The data collected may be more telling when seen in the light of overall trends with review media, such as numbers of reviews printed over time. For comparison, the study will determine the percentages of titles reviewed from large presses, mid-range publishers, and small presses. The study will attempt to answer the questions below, and will also discuss the ramifications of review media bias, drawing conclusions based on the data: (1) Are the numbers of reviews actually declining? (2) Do book reviews sell books? (3) Did the presence of book reviews affect the timing of shipments to OhioLINK libraries in 2004? (4) What percentage of books are reviewed, when publishers are grouped by quantities of titles published? [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
