The book is a model of clarity, systematization, and sensible conceptual and theoretical simplification that should make it an indispensable textbook for students and information professionals alike. --W. Boyd Rayward, emeritus professor, Graduate School of Library and Information Science, University of Illinois The result of a unique collaborative effort, this book should be equally valuable as a textbook and for self-study. It offers a readable overview of key topics, supplemented by a glossary and well-selected lists of references for further study. --Linda C. Smith, associate dean, Graduate School of Library and Information Science, University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign Extremely well-written collaborative work by some of the current gurus of information science and technology!
