British Librarianship And Information Work 1981 1985 General Libraries And The Profession V 2 Special Libraries Materials And Processes

Continuing a series that began in 1928 (as the annual Year's Work in Librarianship), the present work, in two volumes, follows closely the contents and style of its immediate predecessor, British Librarianship and Information Work 1981-1985. Volume 1 (reviewed in the June 1993 Reference and Research Book News) covers general libraries and the library information profession, while Volume 2 contains 19 specialist contributions on aspects of special libraries, materials, and processes. Extensive bibliographies. Annotation copyright by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR

"An index to library and information science".

**** The British counterpart to Sheehy (in which it is recommended--and vice versa), distributed in the US by Unipub. Volume 3 completes the 5th edition with 8,833 entries (vol. 1:Science and technology, 1989, 5,995 entries; vol.2: Social and historical sciences, philosophy and religion, 1990, 7,166 entries). While the majority of items are reference books, Walford is a guide to reference material and therefore includes periodical articles, microforms, online, and CD-ROM sources. A special effort has been made to make sure the output of small and specialist presses is not neglected. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
