Professional Practice & DevelopmentRecenzii
"Considering how many materials and formats can fall under the rubric of 'special collections,' it seems like a daunting endeavor to compile a single handbook which covers all their management and care, but Alison Cullingford has done so with great finesse."
— Library Resources & Technical Services
"As a cataloger with over 20 years of experience with special collections, I was unable to identify any critical topics that were missing, and appreciated Cullingford’s realistic and pragmatic approach to the challenges common to this work ... The volume would be a welcome addition to a special collections staff reference shelf."
— Technicalities
"The new edition provides updates on key topics and adds almost a hundred pages of content while still focusing on giving a broad overview of Special Collections ... Best suited for someone seeking a general introduction or as an introductory text for a class. It would also be useful for someone working in one area of Special Collections who wants to gain an understanding of another aspect of the field, such as someone in museum archives wanting to learn more about rare book librarianship. The bibliography also provides a helpful reference source."
