| Book Description | Used in library schools worldwide, this standard provides students with a thorough understanding of technical services. Updated and expanded, the 7th edition was carefully re-examined by the authors and includes a complete rewriting of the Cataloging and Processing section. The book covers all aspects of the field-from acquisitions to managing the cataloging department-with new emphasis on automation as it affects technical services work and those skills that can be developed through work experience or classroom instruction. Various automated acquisitions systems are described, and a detailed section on automated serials systems is included. Complete with helpful illustrations, statistics, and study guide questions, this text is a must for library and information science students! |
| Editorial Review | Eight years after the last edition, Introduction to Technical Services re-emerges with two new co-authors and extensive rewriting of the text. Although still a nuts-and-bolts text geared toward providing a broad and comprehensive overview of technical services for cataloging novices, paraprofessionals, and technicians, it has expanded to encompass decision-making, staffing, and management issues. ...As a broad introduction to technical services, this textbook provides a solid primer of the tasks and processes involved.?-Technical Services Quarterly |
