Providing Reference Services : A Practical Guide for Librarians
Booklist
From Booklist, Copyright (c) American Library Association. Used with permission.
The thirty-second title in Rowman & Littlefield's Practical Guides for Librarians series is a thoughtful review of reference services. Its seven chapters sketch the history of reference services, assess today's reference collections, outline the basics of reference practice, address reference staff management and administration, examine marketing and collaboration efforts, and consider the future of reference services. Each chapter includes a summary of key points and a list of references. Newly minted reference librarians, seasoned practitioners, and reference supervisors and administrators working in public, academic, school, or special libraries, along with LIS students, will find much to ponder in these pages. The authors are both librarians and professors at Western Kentucky University.--Mulac, Carolyn Copyright 2018 Booklist
