Although the rate at which books by and about blacks has increased rapidly during the past few years, there has been no corresponding increase in the publication of reviews and indexes for these new books. In order to select the best available materials for library collections and Black Studies programs, librarians must be able to locate reviews that do exist on these books. In addition, librarians will have to make demands on the predominantly. white book media· to include and more carefully select reviews on books by and about blacks.
