Description

This comprehensive book prepares readers for a changing profession in the library and information field, presenting a holistic approach that examines theories and models and utilizes creative problem-solving strategies. In this rapidly changing, knowledge-based society, library and information professionals require a broad understanding of the profession.

The materials in this second edition reflect the latest trends in the library and information profession, including services and issues that stem from new advances in technology. The authors present "big picture" information that will allow readers to better plan and implement client-entered services, discussing topics such as the life cycle of information, the role of library and information professionals as change agents, models of information transfer, the national information infrastructure, and important trends and developments. The contents provide readers with clear guidance and a carefully explained rationale for lifelong careers as information professionals. Provides a current, detailed, and creative introduction to the library and information profession for students in LIS programs as well as practicing professionals seeking continuing education Presents a framework for thinking about the library and information profession through thoughtful models and theories, which place it in the context of general service professions in society Builds upon the works of such professional luminaries as Pierce Butler, Verner Clapp, Ralph Shaw, and Jesse Shera to create expanded theories and updated models Review This volume is well-written and delivers a compelling story about how the professions bring people and information together.
