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!

Booklist Review
This eighth edition, as in the prior editions, reflects the dramatic changes transforming technical services in all types of libraries. Five new chapters address technical-services challenges, e-resources, copy cataloging, the need for good cataloging at the local level, and the processing of materials. The other chapters have all been extensively revised. This volume is good not only as a textbook for beginning or advanced technical-services courses but also as a reference or refresher for those working in or impacted by any aspect of technical services. The changes make this new edition necessary. Whether one is seeking general background information or looking at acquisitions, serials, cataloging, or processing, this book will serve the need.--Marcus, Sara Copyright 2010 BooklistNotas de autor provistas por Syndetics
