Summary
Peter Clayton, G. E. Gorman: Management of information sources in libraries
Library and information services have undergone significant changes due to the increasing presence of electronic information. Management of information sources in libraries does not lose its importance, but, on the contrary, gains new importance in the digital world. Librarians are positioned to become leaders in a global information world as they rely on enduring principles and contemporary skills to provide organized access to useful information to meet the needs of their users.
This book provides a comprehensive look at the information sources that library patrons are likely to seek in the 21st century. It is an accessible guide, derived from practice, covering all areas of library collection management, with special reference to what is new or different from traditional approaches.
Managing information resources in libraries contains many examples and case studies, and at the beginning of each chapter the author highlights the main problems and offers suggestions for further reading.
