ABSTRACT

The purpose of this study is to emphasize the importance of book-review journal issued by library. The library is the most important organizing entity for encouraging reading, and the librarians are one of the intellectual sources of the library. As an effective way of encouraging reading in a community, the libraries need to publish book-review journals by utilizing their librarians as book-reviewers. Book-reviews written by appropriate librarians as professional book-reviewers will ultimately contribute to enhancing the quality of the services that a library provides to a specific community, and at the same time will change the traditional image of the library and the role of the librarian. To be sure, the library-issued book-reviews should be more analytical and critical in it contents than other bibliographic tools, and should also take an approach in its format that are different from traditional ones.
