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 current 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.
