Note: The CCAdvisor is no longer published. The Charleston Advisor continues and is published by Annual Review, Inc. The Charleston Advisor’s online journal is supported and the entire backfile is included. Access to the publication is through this link to the Ingenta platform, http://www.charlestonco.com. CRL member IP's are added to Ingenta platform and access should be seamless.
CRL voting member libraries had access to the new online review ccAdvisor, a collaboration between Choice and the Charleston Company. ccAdvisor . It launched in fall 2017 with nearly 300 reviews of online databases, incorporating and updating selected product reviews originally published in The Charleston Advisor along with ongoing new content. As with TCA, reviews are commissioned from subject experts and are peer-reviewed. But ccAdvisor will seek to update review content when product upgrades and revisions become available. The new publication also offers enhanced functionality, allowing users to search, filter, create lists, set alerts and build side-by-side comparison tables of related works.
As databases become ever more costly and complex, ccAdvisor, together with CRL's eDesiderata platform, will combine to provide trustworthy, actionable market intelligence to inform library investment decisions. Librarians, faculty and students at CRL member institutions can access ccAdvisor via their institution's IP ranges at www.ccadvisor.org.
