normanbuchwald— Norman Buchwald (Chabot College) Committee Chair  Greetings and a Happy Spring to everyone!  The CCL-EAR Committee completed six new reviews in the Fall: SIPX, ACLS Humanities Ebook, Rittenhouse R2, Swank Digital Campus, LibWizard and APA Central.  All six reviews can be found at the Reviews site at: http://www.cclibraries.org/reviews/  Click on the review itself to view the full review.  You have any additional comments or input you want to write about these products?  Please click on the Comments section that is below the brief description of a review that you will find on the Reviews page.

We are also about to publish a comparison review between ProQuest Research Companion and Credo InfoLit Modules.

The Committee met face to face meeting in San Diego on January 26-27, 2017.  We will be meeting via teleconference on March 6th and April 28, 2017.  Our planned reviews for the Spring include a comparison review of test preparation products, an up to date comparison review on streaming video databases, a review on New York Times.com and a preview on Bloomsbury Fashion Library.  We want to thank all who participated in our Fall survey on future reviews.  In addition to the infolit and streaming video comparisons we are already writing, we hope to write more based on your input this Fall.
