Libraries in the Information Age: An Introduction and Career Exploration (Library and Information Science Text Series)
Designed as a text for LTA and graduate courses, this second edition includes an expanded section on ethics as well as a thorough updating to reflect recent trends and technologies such as Web 2.0. With an emphasis on public services, this is a basic and thorough overview of today’s libraries that will serve well as an introductory-level text. Although readers’-advisory services are clearly described in the sections on public libraries, they are never named, and the term readers’ advisory is not in the index. Despite this oversight, a solid text that is recommended for LIS libraries and professional development collections. --Jessica Moyer
