review 1: Tedious, and slightly outdated by now (the e-book craze is only mentioned in passing, with no word on tablets or other mobile devices), but if you keep plugging away you’ll find some very helpful tidbits. Those already working in the library field will realize they already know a lot of the information provided. It does serve a very good dual purpose, however, of introducing the neophyte to the library world as well as shoring up and re-enforcing the knowledge and attitudes of veteran workers.
review 2: An excellent introduction to the study of library and information science (LIS).The selected articles are very clear and easy to understand (just what you want for an intro. textbook); with just enough examples to flesh out the theories and arguments central... more to LIS. However, the article's clarity sacrifices some of the detailed information and that you find in LIS academic research - as well as what is found in more subject-specific texts. Luckily, each article includes extensive citations and suggested readings to direct interested readers to more substantial readings. less
