This title is a jewel of a ready-reference guide for busy
librarians, i.e., all of us ... highly recommended as a quick
starting point and pathfinder to more information for library- and
librarian-related subjects. For both the newly minted and the
well-experienced librarian." - Library Journal
"It is almost impossible to open this work to a section that fails
to be entertaining, inspiring, and instructional ... a strong
update to this series that will not disappoint readers familiar
with the earlier volumes." - Booklist
"Rarely does a reference book have such a user-friendly feel as
Eberhart's tome. Even if earlier editions are on your office shelf,
this new edition is clearly worth the investment for its updated
ideas and enjoyable, practical approach to valuable information—a
must-have for media specialists." - VOYA
"A remarkable introduction to the field of librarianship … Highly
recommended." - CHOICE
"It will be of tremendous use for people with an interest in the
topics of librarianship, but not necessarily with detailed training
in librarianship ... It seems immediately obvious that this book
could serve as a textbook for an introductory course in
librarianship, perhaps in high school or undergraduate classes, and
seems like a perfectly useful handbook to make available to
reference staff who receive a lot of questions about libraries
themselves, perhaps in academic libraries that support programmes
and classes in library, information, document, archives, and museum
studies. It also makes a great coffee-table or waiting-room book."
