The 8th, completely revised and enlarged edition of “The Basics of Librarianship”, the well known standard work on the subject, has been completely updated, extensively extended and partly re-designed.
It provides a detailed description of all the fundamental steps involved in acquiring, cataloguing, storing and using library material, with an emphasis on modern developments and new technologies, and an extensive new section on “Library Information Sources”. Thus the new volume provides an up-to-date and comprehensive overview of all aspects of libraries, librarianship and the provision of library information.
