Library Journal Review

This is a compilation of articles, blog entries, excerpts of presentations, and speeches by, and a few about, library and information industry leader Stephen Abram. Currently with the automation firm SirsiDynix, he is past president of the Canadian Library Association and is president-elect of SLA. Organized into four thematic chapters-Advocacy, Technology, Communities and Generations, and The Future-most of the writings date from 2004 onward and range in length from one-paragraph nuggets to articles of several pages or more. Topics covered include the value of libraries and librarians; competing with Google; and e-learning, teenagers, and strategies for next-generation libraries. A few entries refer to Sirsi products. This inspiring collection of thoughts, ideas, and insight from a library and information industry leader is recommended for library students, newly minted librarians, and others in the profession looking for an infusion of Abram's positive energy.-Robert L.
