Listing over 10,000 entries, Harrod's Librarians' Glossary and
Reference Book spans everything from traditional printing terms to
search engines and from book formats to URLs. Revisions for this
tenth edition have centred in particular on the Information Society
and its ramifications, on the general shift towards electronic
resources, and on e-commerce, e-learning and e-government, whilst
at the same time maintaining key areas predating the IT revolution.
Web terminology, URLs and IT terms have been checked and updated,
and coverage of terms relating to digitization and digital
resources, portals, multimedia and electronic products has been
revised or expanded as necessary. Harrod's Glossary now includes
Knowledge Management terms, and this edition has also focused on
developments in the field of intellectual property, copyright,
patents, privacy and piracy. It gives wide international coverage
of names, addresses and URLs of major libraries and other important
organizations in the information sector, of professional
associations, fellowships, networks, government bodies, projects
and programmes, consortia and institutions, influential reports and
other key publications. Entries are included on classification and
file coding, on records management and archiving and on both the
latest and the most enduring aspects of library and information
skills. Even with the Web at your fingertips Harrod's Librarians'
Glossary and Reference Book remains a quicker reference for
explaining specialist terms, jargon and acronyms, and for finding
the URLs you need, whether you are working in a print-based or
digital library, in archiving, records management, conservation,
bookselling or publishing.

From its first edition the purpose of Walford has been to identify
and evaluate the widest possible range of reference materials. No
rigid definition of reference is applied. In addition to the
expected bibliographies, indexes, dictionaries, encyclopaedias, and
directories, a number of important textbooks and manuals of general
practice are included. While the majority of the items are books,
Walford is a guide to reference material. Thus periodical articles,
microforms, online and CD-ROM sources are all represented. In this
volume a particular effort has been made to improve coverage of the
latter two categories.
