This unique annotated bibliography is a complete, up-to-date guide to sources of information on library and information science.
Far from just compiling a simple list of sources, author Michael Bemis digs deeper, examining the strengths and weaknesses of key works and covers recent books, monographs, periodicals and websites, and selected works of historical importance.
A boon to researchers and practitioners alike, this bibliography:
- Includes coverage of subjects as diverse and vital as the history of librarianship, its development as a profession, the ethics of information science, cataloguing, reference work, and library architecture
- Encompasses encyclopaedias, dictionaries, directories, photographic surveys, statistical publications, and numerous electronic sources, all categorized by subject
- Offers appendixes detailing leading professional organizations and publishers of library and information science literature.
Readership: LIS scholars, students, and anyone working in the field.
