Library And Information Science Abstracts

"The Encyclopedia of Library and Information Science provides an outstanding resource in 33 published volumes with 2 helpful indexes. This thorough reference set--written by 1300 eminent, international experts--offers librarians, information/computer scientists, bibliographers, documentalists, systems analysts, and students, convenient access to the techniques and tools of both library and information science. Impeccably researched, cross referenced, alphabetized by subject, and generously illustrated, the Encyclopedia of Library and Information Science integrates the essential theoretical and practical information accumulating in this rapidly growing field."

This updated book is intended primarily as a text to be used in teaching indexing and abstracting in schools of library and information science. It should also be of value to all individuals and institutions involved in training for information retrieval and related activities, including librarians, managers of information centres, and database producers.
