Periodical
Contents Index (PCI)
Excellent source for book reviews, especially for older material. The trick
is to enter both the author's last name and one or two keywords from the title
in the Article Title Keyword field using the NEAR operator. (The Author field
reflects the author of the REVIEW, not of the book, and the author's name
may appear before or after the title of the work in the article title statement.)
Searching for reviews of J-B Duroselle's book, La Decadence, translates into
the search "duroselle near decadence", for instance. Then limit the
search to Book Reviews Only, and to a time period, too, if necessary. Since
the Author field reflects the author of the review, you can also search for
reviews by specific reviewers. (Annotation by SKL)

Repère
Références d'articles de périodiques langue française

2% sont les adresses d'articles en texte intégral sur Internet. (References
to periodical articles in French (1980-present), 5% of which are in full text
and 2% are addresses of full-text articles on the Internet.)
Book reviews can be found in Repère by using the "Recherche élaborée"
form and placing the term "compte-rendu" in first or last fields
("Sujet + titre + résumé" or "Titre de l'article")
and the name of the author or words from the title being reviewed in the same
or another field. Repère adds the term "compte-rendu" in
brackets to the field of the article title, so even if that term does not
appear in the print version, it is still searchable in Repère.
