Used in library schools worldwide, this is the classic text for gaining a thorough understanding of library technical services.
Updated and expanded, this eighth edition of the standard resource provides students with a thorough understanding of technical services, covering all aspects of the field—from acquisitions to managing the cataloging department—with emphasis on revised sections and new material covering E-resources and media, metadata, outsourcing, quality management, automation as it affects technical services, and the impact of consortia on the work of technical services. Complete with helpful illustrations, statistical data, and study guide questions, this text is a must for library and information science students!
This substantial volume is the standard textbook for courses on technical services in library and information science (LIS) programs, and with good reason. It succeeds in doing what . . . an introductory textbook should do: balance high-level overviews of acquisitions and cataloging . . . with judiciously chosen details that are sufficient to elucidate the subject, but not so abundant as to completely overwhelm the inexperienced student. . . . Learners, at various stages of knowledge, will find Evans, Intner, and Weihs to be adept, trustworthy guides to the past, present, and probable future landscapes of technical services work. * Library Resources and Technical Services *
