Long description:

The International Encyclopedia of Information and Library Science provides vital information for all those involved in the study or practice of librarianship and information work. Library and Information Science (LIS) covers all aspects of the organization and management of information, information media and the institutions through which information is provided. This Encyclopedia is a guide to the concepts, topics and terminology of this established but changing discipline. It gives the user comprehensive coverage of the field combined with expert analysis by some of the leading academics and practitioners. The Encyclopedia addresses the primary concerns of LIS, and considers all related areas. Its coverage is wide-ranging, from services for the visually impaired to library provision in the Caribbean and is written by a team of experts from across the world, including contributors from Australia, India, Jamaica, Nigeria and Norway. Some entries deal specifically with international bodies or issues (for example, UNESCO or Trans-Border Data Flow), and pay special attention to divergences of linguistic usage.

'... for the information professional at all levels, this is a veritable treasure house of fascinating information both retrospective and current. Students too, will find much in its pages to supplement their course material. Its editors deserve our congratulations and gratitiude.' - The Electronic Library'The Encyclopedia is a timely guide to who needs to know what, why, and what means they use. The result is a useful reference work ... for the professional information-worker and interested lay-person alike.' - The British Library'The excellent index guides the reader through the numerous countries included ... a very rich work which we can only recommend librarians who are interested in their profession, particularly in other countries, to read.' - Bulletin des Biblioteques de France
