"purpose of this database is to create a tailored reading list of quality children's literature or to find out if a book has won one of the indexed awards"

"designed for use by those interested in the theories and criticism used to analyze children's literature. It is not a resource for book reviews in the represented periodicals, nor is it a source for the full-text of the articles. The annotations are, so far, almost all written by Lisa R. Bartle, and may be cited and used for purposes of scholarship and education, not for profit."
