QUESTION: Publisher's Weekly, and others' near-monopoly on library collections

question / pregunta: 

I'm having a hard time finding information on this issue. I am looking for some sources/information relating to publications like PW, Library Journal, and Booklist. It seems like the majority of libraries use these few publications to develop their collections and I would like to know the politics of what determines which titles get printed/reviewed in PW, LJ, etc. I'm looking for info on things like: are the review publications and titles that it reviews owned by the same company, do publishers pay to have titles favorably reviewed, are certain big sellers not allowed to be reviewed too poorly? Simply put, I'm looking for some dirt on these publications, so I can look at them more critically. Also, any recommendations of review materials that cover things more independently, or focus on marginalized publications like leftist politics, or small press fiction?
