Description: "This book provides a history of readers' advisory philosophy and offers a perspective on the evolution of the service. The book analyzes the debate that shaped readers' advisory and discusses how the service has assumed its present form; and follows readers' advisory through its development, when the service was still a subject of debate about its meaning"--Provided by publisher.
