Developing Library and Information Center Collections: Fifth Edition (Library and Information Science Text ...

2 reviews
G. Edward Evans, Margaret Zarnosky Saponaro

Libraries Unlimited, 2005

A very solid and practical guide....
This volume by Evans and Sapanaro was a textbook in my collection development class. Given the very pragmatic approach of my instructor, I'm not surprised she selected this book. First of all, collection development can be a very politically charged responsibility, especially in a public library. While this book may not give you all the nitty gritty details of how to deal with every situation ...

Library Mouse

Daniel Kirk

Abrams Books for Young Readers, 2007

A true favorite!
I purchased this book for my two and a half year old son about a month ago. We read this together every weekend. It is so funny because he memorizes the pages and we take turns reading to each other. We shopped at a local flea market last week, one vendor had a stuffed toy mouse and my son looked at me and said, "Is that the Library Mouse?" It was so funny. This is an excellent book that ...

Getting dated, but still my first stop reference
I got this book originally back in 2001, and I still use it almost every day as the first stop for any STL issue I have. It's also what I give new employees who need to get up to speed on the STL. IMHO there's no better place to start if you want to learn to use the STL.

The Nag Hammadi Library

James M. Robinson

HarperOne, 1990

Necessary
This is a compilation of works written at or near the same times as the canonized texts. This is not light reading, and is intended for those who do NOT want their history/religious myth prefaced by someone else's interpretation of what enlightened students can easily comprehend and process for themselves. If you crave enlightenment into the origins of the Christian religion without the inane ...

Matthew Battles

Vintage, 2004

At Last one Book about Books with a Clear Script...
Battle has written a book about libraries -so, about books put toguether and creating a new, chemical reaction- that has a non very common feature in this class of books: direction. Most of the books about books or related issues tends to be just catalogues of anecdotes, information, curiosities and sometimes even trivia. That's not bad. It can be very entertainning. But Battle has done more ...

Candida Höfer

Schirmer/Mosel, 2006

The snapshot images speak for themselves in this captivating compilation
137 color plates distinguish Candida Hofer Libraries, beautifully capturing seats of knowledge around the world from the Pierpont Morgan Library in New York to the Bibliotheque nationale de France in Paris, the Villa Medici in Rome and others. Aside from a brief introduction, no essays intersperse the eye-catching plates, each of which takes up a whole page with a blank page opposite in a ...

Agatha Christie

Black Dog & Leventhal Publishers, 2006

WILL SOMEONE LET THE WOMAN SPEAK?
What "improvements" have been made for the Black Dog & Leventhal edition? There are already major differences in punctuation, word choices, and scene breaks between the original Collins and Dodd Mead editions of this novel. There are further differences between the Dodd Mead editions republished by Random House/Avenel and the Dodd Mead editions republished by Simon & Shuster/Pocket. There are ...

The School Library Media Manager Third Edition (Library and Information Science Text Series)

Blanche Woolls

Libraries Unlimited, 2004

Could Use Some Editing.
I had to purchase this book for a class I am taking this semester. The language is very dry, although the text is large enough so that the speed of reading through a page counteracts the fact that the text is rather lifeless. There are many sentences that I have to read over a few times because they do not sound right, only to discover that there are essential words like "to" missing between ...

The Most Beautiful Libraries in the World

Guillaume de Laubier, Laurel Hirsch (translator)

Harry N. Abrams, 2003

An invaluable book
This is a marvelous book to whoever loves books. It presents many important historic libraries in the world; each library is presented in informative and sober texts and with accompanying photos. These photos try to capture the overall look of the library (even if this is rather difficult) and several interesting details, sometimes including secondary rooms. The texts focus on the history of ...
