Reviews such as those found on the catalogue of the State Library of Tasmania and the Stonnington Library of Victoria are useful to any would be reader of that particular material whether it is a book, video, periodical or DVD. If you read a review before you borrow, you have a better idea if you want the item or not and if it is something you decide against, after reading the review it can stay on the shelf for other library clients to use/borrow.
It is a useful service and I think libraries should provide it.
My local library has a Readers Advice column keeping readers up to date with new book lists and reviews.
