The National Bibliography Of Botswana

A response to dramatic changes in the geopolitical map, this new guide offers a frame of reference to negotiate the broad, complex, and ever-changing terrain of national bibliographies.Since the prior edition, at least 28 new countries have been created, with nations such as the former Yugoslavia reconstructing their bibliographies to more clearly reflect the ethnicity of their citizens. Technological advances have also had an impact: six countries now offer their bibliographies exclusively in electronic format.The guide covers 181 countries offering 133 individual national bibliographies and 12 regional bibliographies. Even countries without a current program are represented by their most recent issue.Arranged by country, entries include title and key details, such as the compiler, contents, and format, as well as relevant information specific to the bibliography in question.

A revitalized version of the popular classic, the Encyclopedia of Library and Information Science, Second Edition targets new and dynamic movements in the distribution, acquisition, and development of print and online media-compiling articles from more than 450 information specialists on topics including program planning in the digital era, recruitment, information management, advances in digital technology and encoding, intellectual property, and hardware, software, database selection and design, competitive intelligence, electronic records preservation, decision support systems, ethical issues in information, online library instruction, telecommuting, and digital library projects.
