Online reviews, a form of online word-of-mouth, have recently become one of the most important sources of information for readers.

Book reviews can be very useful in a number of ways during the research process.
They may often give:

• information about the author,
• a summary of the book's contents,
• comparisons to other works in the field,
• and of course evaluative comments.

This proves that all libraries should provide this service. Unfortunately, the library that I use does not have this option available on their catalogue, but I hope they will fix that soon.
