Do you know of any reviews or other sources that can be used to add to these articles on Wikipedia? They may have reviews in gaming magazines, sci-fi magazines, or other sources. Keep in mind that Wikipedia has higher standards on what is acceptable as sources; for example, most blogs and fansites are not acceptable. However, the blog of a professional writer would probably be a reliable source, if they are not affilitated with TSR, Wizards, or Dragonlance in any way.

Any help you can provide would be appreciated!

I just checked a few of the titles (first 4-5) in Academic Search Premiere to see if there were any reviews in Library Journal or other sources, and didn't find any.

I know that we do have at least one review on Dragons of the Dwarven Depths, The Dargonesti, Dragons of the Hourglass Mage, Prisoner of Haven, and Wanderlust - and I'm pretty sure we have at least one Library Journal review on at least one DL novel article somewhere. Is that a public search engine that I could use?

If you have a card at your public library, I'm pretty sure you'll be able to access Academic Search. It's one of the THE big databases libraries get. A basic research tool. If nothing else, you might be able to use a print index called LISTA (Library, Information Science and Technology Abstracts) without a library card AT your main or central library or a university library. It's also a very standard tool, though finding it in print anymore is getting harder.

Edit: ask your library if they still have Book Review Index, as well! Talk to your Librarian!!

Thanks, I will have to give that a shot! I know that I spent many hours at the library with "Heroic Worlds" (since, for whatever reason, they filed it as a reference work so I could not actually check it out).

They didn't seem to know too much about either of those databases. They did have access to one called "Literary Reference Center" though, which I used to add some to "The Legend of Huma" and actually looks like it has a lot more potential to add to articles about the authors than it does about the books.

I know my novel (the first in the "Tracy Hickman Presents the Anvil of Time" series) was reviewed by Fantasy Debut here: http://fantasydebut.blogspot.com/2008/07/sellsword-by-cam-banks.html among other places. But it doesn't look as if it's on that big list of yours.

Cheers,
