Journal of the American Society for Information Science, v49 n4 p364-74 Apr 1 1998

A survey of science and technology faculty, and the humanities and social science faculty at the University of North Texas revealed that most faculty read book reviews; however, a dichotomy exists as to the usefulness of book reviews for faculty research and teaching. Different book review formats were also preferred by both science/technology faculty and humanities/social science faculty. (AEF)
