Total number of reviews in database: 3184
Educational Media Reviews Online (EMRO) is a database of video, DVD, audio CD and CD-ROM reviews of materials from major educational and documentary distributors and independent filmmakers. The reviews are written by librarians and teaching faculty in institutions across the United States and Canada. The reviews are given one of four ratings: Highly Recommended, Recommended, Recommended with reservations or Not Recommended. Titles rated Highly Recommended are noted with an apple icon .
The reviews are aimed at an educational audience, primarily academic librarians. There are some reviews of K-12 titles in the database, but they are not the main focus.
The database began in 1997 as the AV Review Database, part of the peer-reviewed publication, MC Journal: The Journal of Academic Media Librarianship, an electronic journal devoted to issues in media librarianship. When the scholarly article portion of the journal ceased publication in January 2002, the AV Review Database continued on as Educational Media Reviews Online. EMRO is very much a team effort designed to be a "win-win" project for the library community. The reviewers, distributors and filmmakers are to be commended for contributing to make a quality database for the information professions.
Anyone interested in writing reviews for EMRO, or distributors and filmmakers interested in having materials reviewed, please contact the Editor, Lori Widzinski via e-mail at widz@buffalo.edu.
