Abstract

Presents a general introduction to how libraries use electronic resources, ranging from document delivery services and electronic mail to the Internet and WWW. Explores the available resources and examines their impact on libraries, library provision of information and the way that library and information professionals and users respond to them. Specific sections consist of: history and evolution of electronic resources; the Internet and its applications; electronic publishing and document delivery services; interactive multimedia; virtual libraries and digital libraries; bibliography and references

Rez. in: JASIST 57(2006) no.8, S.1130-1132 (S.R. Tompson): "The editors of This text in MIT Press' Digital Libraries and Electronic Publishing series deliberately view digital libraries (DLs) as "sociotechnical systems" - "networks of technology. information. documents, people and practices''. They allow an additional definition of "sociotechnical" as "an analytical stance that privileges neither the social nor the technological and in which neither is reducible to the other". This is an important definition, as it is the foundation of the contributors' sociological approach to digital libraries, an approach not typical of the DL literature which still focuses "largely on the technology itself". Bishop et al. have two stated goals for this volume: 1. "... to inform police and professional practice in DLs with socially grounded understanding of DLs as part of a web of social relations and practices. 2. "... to perform technically informed social analysis of phenomena of interest to social scientists that are highlighted by digital libraries. specifically issues of work, groups, and knowledge"."

Abstract

'I wish that I had been able to obtain such a guide when I started dealing with enquiries' - "Managing Information". 'By the time I got to it 3 staff had noticed it on the desk and written a note saying really good and can we have a copy' - "BBOB News". 'This is certainly a comforting and very useful guide for the information worker, particularly inexperienced or unqualified, staffing a general enquiry desk' - "New Library World". There is a queue, the phone is ringing, the photocopier has jammed and your enquirer is waiting for a response. You are stressed and you can feel the panic rising. Where do you go to find the information you need to answer the question promptly and accurately?Answering queries from users is one of the most important services undertaken by library and information staff. Yet it is also one of the most difficult, least understood subjects. There are still very few materials available to help frontline staff - often paraprofessional - develop their reader enquiry skills. This award-winning sourcebook is an essential guide to where to look to find the answers quickly. It is designed as a first point of reference for library and information practitioners, to be depended upon if they are unfamiliar with the subject of an enquiry - or wish to find out more. It is arranged in an easily searchable, fully cross-referenced A-Z list of around 150 of the subject areas most frequently handled at enquiry desks.Each subject entry lists the most important information sources and where to locate them, including printed and electronic sources, relevant websites and useful contacts for referral purposes. The authors use their extensive experience in reference work to offer useful tips, warn of potential pitfalls, and spotlight typical queries and how to tackle them. This new edition has been brought right up-to-date with all sources checked for currency and many new ones added. The searchability is enhanced by a comprehensive index to make those essential sources even easier to find - saving you valuable minutes! Offering quick and easy pointers to a multitude of information sources, this is an invaluable reference deskbook for all library and information staff in need of a speedy answer, in reference libraries, subject departments and other information units.

Rez. in: Mathematical intelligencer 27(2005) no.2, S.80-81 (J.P. Ladwig u. E.B. Williams): "This book deals with the basic tools and skills needed in the mathematical laboratory." It is written not only for librarians, but more importantly for undergraduates doing mathematical research, for graduate students, and for faculty exploring new areas. This is the 66th volume of Dekker's Books in Library and Information Science. It is divided into two parts, "Tools and Strategies," and "Recommended Reading by Subject," and it has two indexes: author and subject. The first place a seasoned mathematician is likely to browse is Part II, "Recommended Readings by Subject," just to check the list of resources for his or her subject. The subjects included are: History of mathematics Number theory Combinatorics Abstract algebra Algebraic and differential geometry Real and complex analysis Differential equations Topology Probability theory and stochastic processes Numerical analysis Mathematical biology Mathematics education NOTE: We understand from the editor that contributors for other subjects (like mathematical logie) would have been welcome. Each subject is given a chapter written by a mathematician and/or a mathematics librarian. Each entry gives enough information to locate and even order the resource, and often a one- or two-sentence description. The emphasis is an books, but key journals and on-line resources are also indicated. The chapters generally contain an introduction, a section an general sources, and then sections for the major subdivisions of a field. Sections often refer to general texts, and then further refine the subdivision. For example, the chapter an topology by Alan Hatcher contains a section an introductory books, then sections an algebraic topology, manifold theory, low-dimensional topology, history, and other resources. The section an manifold theory, for example, discusses differential topology, piecewise-linear topology, topological manifolds, and surgery theory.
