Meeting the Needs of Editors and Publishers

From the well-known names such as HarperCollins, Highsmith Press and Scholastic to those that may not be quite as familiar; from the largest to the smallest publishers all will find something of value in The Children's Literature Comprehensive Database. Several of our publisher subscribers have discovered the following distinctive features:

Aggregation of Book Reviews and Search Options

"CLCD has been a great research tool for finding book reviews from a variety of sources. It is wonderful to be able to go onto one Web site to find an assortment of book reviews. The CLCD Web site contains a selection of search options, which makes finding book reviews fast and easy! The customer service department is friendly and helpful which makes working with CLCD a wonderful experience."

Timely Subject Searches

"The CLCD database is a superb, up-to-date reference tool. Using it nonfiction authors can check to see what has been written on a subject, including most recent publications. Reading the CLCD's broad collection of reviews will help them determine if a book is needed and how it will provide new information or give a new slant on an issue."

SVP & Editorial Director
HarperCollins Children's Books

MARC Records and Sorting Capabilities

"As editor of a line of resource books for librarians and media specialists to use with children in public and school libraries, I use the CLCD database in a number of ways. The primary reason I go to the database is to gather bibliographic information and MARC records I trust the CLCD database to have accurate information. The second way I use the database is for assistance in compiling bibliographies along a particular theme, for instance, books about dolphins or the Fourth of July. I like the ability to sort by title or publication date. It does some of my work for me!"
