This volume is one in a series on information services management, which seeks to address the need for management skills training in the information services community. Megill is senior staff systems analyst at Dynamics Research Corporation and was previously on the faculty of the School of Library and Information Science at the Catholic University of America in Washington, DC and director of its Information Resources Management Program. The authors describe their work as the product of collaboration between two very different professionals, one an engineer who has worked in the area of data input and character recognition, and the other a records manager. Each part begins with an introduction and consists of several short chapters. There is an index, although random sampling of entries indicated some page number errors and references to mentions of topics in the text rather than fuller discussions.
Some chapters carry a few references but there is no bibliography or reading list.
The content is readable and at a suitable level to serve as an introduction or update on electronic document management for professionals and managers. All rights reserved Available from Kenneth A.
