Review sources play two important roles in TIPS. First, they are a criteria in qualifying materials for inclusion on your lists. That is, you specify which critical media must have reviewed a book in order for it to appear on your selection list. This effectively teams you with a huge number of reviewers, scanning and qualifying works for you.
Secondly, you can request the full text reviews themselves. TIPS will deliver the complete text for any reviewed book on your lists. During the 3-Month Trial Subscription, Kirkus and four other review sources are available, free. Thereafter, there's a small monthly fee for this terrific resource.
