For many years, H-Albion Book Reviews has been an essential feature of our listserv.  Not only has it notified members of new books, but it has also provided top-notch critical reviews and surveys on the state of our field.  This month, we are introducing a new, add-on feature to H-Albion's review service: the H-Albion Bibliography of Publications in British and Irish Studies.

The H-Albion Bibliography of Publications in British and Irish Studies is meant to supplement H-Albion Book Reviews by providing a space for members to announce new books, articles, reviews, and digital resources of interest to the H-Albion community.  Using Zotero, members will be able to add new items to the H-Albion Bibliography as well as to add comments and links to book reviews.

For those of you who are unfamiliar with it, Zotero is a free tool developed by the Center for HIstory and New Media at George Mason University.  The software helps academics collect, organize, cite, and share research sources.  Citations and notes can be stored both locally and in a cloud.  They can be accessed  through the web, as a browser plugin, or as a standalone application.  For more information on Zotero and how to use it, please visit the Zotero website.  There is a great video introduction here: <http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pq94aBrc0pY>.

The H-Albion Bibliography of Publications in British and Irish Studies is a crowd-sourced list, so it is up to the members who use the site to edit and update it.  To post, all you need to do is join the group.  When posting a new item, please be sure to put a summary in the abstract field, a link to the publisher's site, and any other information in the Notes field.  Members can update entries to make them more accurate, but if you would like to comment on the text, please insert the text as a new note.  For new announcements, please subscribe to the RSS feed at https://api.zotero.org/groups/58082/items/top.

Once you have uploaded the information for your new publication, please be sure to submit your book to H-Albion Book Reviews.  The contact information for our editors is below.
