Each 200-page issue provides comprehensive, balanced coverage on a topic of importance in modern society. Each issue contains 35-45 notable documents and articles (complete or abstracted) from highly respected periodicals and media outlets.
In addition, the Preface introduces the reader to the topic and 5-6 chapters within the text provide readers with thoughtful guidance on how to approach a particular aspect of the topic.
Each chapter’s introductory material provides guidance and guarantees success in using these carefully-selected materials. A bibliography, index and important websites enhance further research.
The Reference Shelf issues are available singly (for $75 each), however, most libraries subscribe to the entire annual set of six issues (for terms of one, two or three years) and enjoy substantial savings as a result.
