CM Archive update
Although CM has been on hiatus for the summer, we have been busy adding book reviews to the cmarchive. A Young Canada Works grant allowed us to hire two summer students who have added over 600 Canadian Materials book reviews from 1984-1993 to this online resource. Visit the cmarchive and find books by title, author, grade/age range or chronologically. Or use the CM search tool to find reviews by keywords or concepts.News
