Welcome to - Project VOICE Reviews " I find the book reviews that are completed for H-Net far above those that are published in journals. They are more analytically insightful and have a genuine honesty about their usefulness in the classroom. " " The reviews have been an excellent resource for me, in research as well as in teaching. With respect to teaching, due to the online availability of reviews, it's easy to incorporate discussions of recently published literature or recent films in class. " " Reviews and queries about syllabi and course design have been most helpful -- like a constant conference round-table that keeps you connected to the field. Especially important these days when travel budgets are an endangered species. " " The purchase of (English) academic books for our department now relies entirely on the reviews published at H-Net. " " It is really useful to know through reviews about all the research and the areas people are exploring. The Reviews archive is separated into annual volumes.

So has the role of librarians and information professionals in grading and judging content become a thing of the past, a skill no longer needed or wanted? Wow! — bq
