Intended for use by both librarians and students in LIS programs, Academic Librarianship Today is the most current, comprehensive overview of the field available today. Key features include:
  • Each chapter was commissioned specifically for this new book, and the authors are highly regarded academic librarians or library school faculty— or both
  • Cutting-edge topics such as open access, copyright, digital curation and preservation, emerging technologies, new roles for academic librarians, cooperative collection development and resource sharing, and patron-driven acquisitions are explored in depth
  • Each chapter ends with thought-provoking questions for discussion and carefully constructed assignments that faculty can assign or adapt for their courses

    • The book begins with Gilman's introduction, an overview that briefly synthesizes the contents of the contributors' chapters by highlighting major themes. The main part of the book is organized into three parts: The Academic Library Landscape Today, Academic Librarians and Services Today, and Changing Priorities, New Directions.

        Academic libraries are the cornerstone of higher education institutions. Beverly Lynch (dept. of information studies, Univ. of California Los Angeles) begins this book with a foreword discussing the current state of academic libraries, how they are constantly evolving, and how information technology is a crucial part of their mission. An introduction by editor Gilman (librarian for literature in English, Yale Univ.) lays out the framework and topics of importance discussed in later chapters: financial and technological challenges facing academic libraries, the library's governance and organization within the larger university, research and scholarly communication efforts, recruitment and retention, and more. Chapters are authored by well-respected librarians and or professors of library science, including Starr Hoffman (head of planning & assessment, Univ. of Nevada, Las Vegas) and Barbara I. Dewey (dean, univ. libraries & scholarly communications, Pennsylvania State Univ.). Sections also touch upon open access, emerging technologies, and resource sharing. At the end of each chapter, questions and assignments will spark further conversation on the subjects. VERDICT A thoroughly useful option in the field of academic librarianship. Beneficial for all academic libraries.--Holly Skir, York Coll., CUNY
