Summary: Try to stay awake during this one ...
Comment: This book was very, very boring. On most occassions, I actually fell asleep while attempting to read. This was a required book for Masters level Library & Information Science coursework. My question is ... is it really necessary to present the subject matter in such a boring way? Ugh. I could see this book actually turning someone off on the library profession as a whole. Good luck!

Summary: Good cure for insomnia.
Comment: In the immortal words of Alec Baldwin in Beetlejuice, this book reads like stereo instructions. I have not yet picked it up to read it without falling asleep. Be warned if you get this title in a library science course. I actually had to track it down. It is one of the most boring, tedious texts I have ever tried to read. Even the graphics are dull and unimaginative. Textbooks don't have to be so stupifyingly boring as this. The book is very thorough, but you really have to work to stay with it. Run away, run away!!

Summary: a bit sparse with respect to actual information science
Comment: This book is a nice primer for anyone considering a profession as a librarian. However, I bought it hoping for an introduction to the theory and design of taxonomies, thesauri, and controlled vocabularies. I was disappointed to find that the emphasis is on standards, ethics, the library as an institution, etc. The title is a bit misleading.
