This second edition comes nearly 10 years after the first, and is a welcome update. Also new to this edition is a chapter on electronic resources, many on the internet and free to the public. Over 100 contributors helped Freeman prepare the first edition and most have returned to help update this second edition. Line drawings, charts, tables, and black and white photographs support the text. The topics covered are extensive and timely.
Information includes useful specifics and federal guidelines where appropriate.
This handbook can be used by those in the field for useful procedures, and can be used as a research tool for background information, advice, costs, process descriptions, and more. Libraries that used the first edition should update with the second edition. Those that do not own the first, should now acquire the second edition.
