Used in library schools worldwide, this standard text provides
students with a thorough understanding of technical services.
Updated and expanded, the eighth edition further emphasizes the
rapidly changing environment in which technical services are
conducted.
The book covers all aspects of the field--from acquisitions to
managing the cataloging department--with five new chapters.
"Technical Services Issues" includes material related to physical
space needs; "E-resources Issues" examines how the growth of
e-materials impact technical services work; "Copy Cataloging"
reflects the ever increasing need to be more efficient and also to
save limited funds for technical services activities; "Overview and
Decisions" addresses the issue of why and how the local OPAC has
become a gateway to the universe of knowledge; and "Processing
Materials" covers the activities involved in making sure items that
go into a library's collection are properly identified as belonging
to the library and where the item is physically located in the
collection. All other chapters have been extensively rewritten and
updated to reflect 2010 technical service functions and activities.
Complete with helpful illustrations, statistics, and study guide
questions, this text is a must for library and information science
students
