Dictionaries for Adults and Children (Paperback)

Two articles from "Reference Books Bulletin" are presented here. The first, "Desk Dictionaries", by Rashelle Karp, discusses points to consider when selecting a dictionary and reviews nine desk/college dictionaries, arranged by the publisher's files on which they are based. The second article, by Frances Corcoran, discusses children's dictionaries and reviews 19 titles, arranged by grade level. A summary chart for each section and sample entries from the dictionaries for children aged 8-11 are included.
