Book Review for Journal

Each year many books applicable to advising are published; no one advisor can read all, yet each book may contain information vital to the advisor's professional development. Journal book reviews are one way NACADA members can efficiently choose which books to read. As a service, many publishers send the NACADA Executive Office books of interest to advisors. These books are made available to NACADA members, free of charge, in exchange for a review. Please note that all reviewers must be current NACADA members.

Each NACADA Journal issue includes citations of recently completed reviews with all reviews posted to the Journal's Web site. To allow all NACADA members the opportunity to review a book, reviewers are limited to one review per member year (note: the majority of NACADA memberships run from September to September thus coinciding with the academic year. However some memberships run from March to March. Direct membership questions to nacada@ksu.edu).

When viewing the list of available books it is important to remember that NACADA members bring a variety of backgrounds to the advising of students. Likewise members are involved with advising in many different ways. Additionally, members represent a variety of institutional types. Because of this diversity, the books listed for review cover a wide range of fields. However diverse the members, one thing remains constant, the fact that NACADA highly encourages all members to contribute to the Journal. We appreciate each NACADA member who takes the time to review a book. Without your efforts the reviews would not exist.

Listed resources are member suggested; as such, listings are not comprehensive in nature. Members are encouraged to suggest resources they find helpful to their advising practice. Listing of commercial sites does not imply NACADA endorsement.
