Editorial Reviews

Combines in-depth descriptions of some 400 sources to print/non-print business information with explanations of concepts essential for using them effectively. This revised and expanded edition (first in 1987) adds many new topics, more extensively covers electronic products, and increases emphasis on research strategies. May be used as a text/manual for a graduate library science course, or by businesspeople, students, and researchers outside the library world. Annotation c.
