The purpose of this book is to examine the library and the
librarian as they communicate with their raison d'etre, the user.
Drawing from several literatures--those of communication,
information theory, philosophy and linguistics--John M. Budd
furthers the discussion of the communication process as it relates
to libraries and librarians. Also investigated are various models,
which are designed to describe a number of aspects of the
communications process. The utility of these models in studying the
library is covered extensively. This is especially useful in trying
to determine dysfunction regarding the use of libraries and access
to information. Noise, a particularly disruptive force, is
investigated, including a look at how libraries and librarians
create noise. Budd reviews some of the ways various schools of
thought look at libraries, information and communication. He then
focuses on information, its relationship to the library, and its
rate of growth. The dynamics of communications as a process is
discussed and examined vis-a-vis the library.
