presents a categorized list of titles in all areas of communication that have come in since the end of the past academic year. Click on a category to see a list of titles, then click on a title for more information. (A link in the "Review" box will bring you to the Quest Library Catalog record for the book.)

New Communication Books at BC

There's been a large influx of new communication books in the libraries these past few weeks. Take a look at a selection of the new titles via the New Communication Books page. (Screen shot below.)


Clicking on a tag on the new books page takes you to a page in a service called LibraryThing where I have gathered books on that topic that have been added to the BC Libraries since the beginning of the semester. (Clicking on MOST RECENT ADDITIONS show the very newest titles in all categories.)

Once you’re in LibraryThing, there are several kinds of information available about each book, including:
* A link to Amazon.com, including descriptions, excerpts, and any other details that are available.
* Tags that have been applied to the book by me or by others who have included the book in their own LibraryThing collections.
* A link (in a box under Member Reviews - the most convenient place I could put it) to the Quest catalog record for the book at BC.
* Any ratings or reviews that LibraryThing users have submitted about the book. (Not many with these academic titles.)

New books continue to arrive almost daily. I'll post another update in a couple of weeks.
