Develop the competencies needed to provide effective adult services
in modern public libraries with this comprehensive guidebook.
Public librarians are directly responsible for providing a large
proportion of the American population with access to the Internet
and guidance in obtaining important government information.
Effectively servicing today's adult library users is already a
pressing need, and will only become a larger priority as the
nation's population ages. Library Services for Adults in the 21st
Century is for library science students interested in working with
adults in public libraries. As the first text dedicated to adult
library services to be published since 1991, this title has been
sorely needed and much anticipated. This book will provide a model
for training public librarians for the specific challenges of
providing adult services. Part I provides a survey of the history
and development of adult services. Part II addresses planning and
tools for service development. Part III examines the different
types of services for adults and best practices, while Part IV
presents training methods. 12 separate bibliographies-one following
each chapter An index enables direct reference to information by
topic Resources for additional information, Internet resources
referenced in the book, and best practices
