ACL Review Tools
For help in writing ACL reviews, please consult:
- BayViews Review Form and Instructions (MS Word 2000 files), created 3/06
for electronic submission of reviews to Nancy Pino.
- BayViews Review Form htm or Word 97 (updated 12/2/02).
Please use this form if you do not intend to submit your review electronically and/or do not have MS Word compatible software.
If your review goes on to a second page, you may staple the second page to first side.
- Guide for Bayviews Reviewers, 2007 (MS Word)
Replaces - Reviewers Guide, Style Guide, and Grammar and Usage Guide
- Sample Reviews from the first two pages of the October, 1999 issue (Vol. 10 No. 2).
If you would like to either become a BayViews Reviewer (must be an ACL member) or to update your Reviewer Profile, please submit the Reviewer Checklist (MS WORD file) to either Book Review Co-Chair at the next meeting or via email ( see Contacts page).
The Rating System in BayViews (revised in 1999)
- Outstanding:
Outstanding in its presentation of the genre, including style, consistency, design, accuracy, and consideration of audience. Books receiving this rating will be considered for the annual Distinguished Books List.
- Additional:
Competent, but may be excelled in its field by other books. A useful addition to most library collections. Reviewers who wish to distinguish books at the high or low range of the broad Additional category may use the terms High Additional or Low Additional to so designate.
- Unsatisfactory:
Contains so many weaknesses in style, content, and/or book design that is not recommended for general library purchase.
