Recensioner i media

This title is a jewel of a ready-reference guide for busy librarians, i.e., all of us ... highly recommended as a quick starting point and pathfinder to more information for library- and librarian-related subjects. For both the newly minted and the well-experienced librarian." - Library Journal"It is almost impossible to open this work to a section that fails to be entertaining, inspiring, and instructional ... a strong update to this series that will not disappoint readers familiar with the earlier volumes." - Booklist"Rarely does a reference book have such a user-friendly feel as Eberhart's tome. Even if earlier editions are on your office shelf, this new edition is clearly worth the investment for its updated ideas and enjoyable, practical approach to valuable information—a must-have for media specialists." - VOYA"A remarkable introduction to the field of librarianship … Highly recommended." - CHOICE"It will be of tremendous use for people with an interest in the topics of librarianship, but not necessarily with detailed training in librarianship ... It seems immediately obvious that this book could serve as a textbook for an introductory course in librarianship, perhaps in high school or undergraduate classes, and seems like a perfectly useful handbook to make available to reference staff who receive a lot of questions about libraries themselves, perhaps in academic libraries that support programmes and classes in library, information, document, archives, and museum studies. It also makes a great coffee-table or waiting-room book." - Reference Reviews
