What People are Saying About This

Donnna Scheeder

Pearlstein and Matarazzo are addressing one of the most significant challenges of our time, the design and measurement of relevant high quality information services in a world where the pace of change continues to accelerate. As types of libraries continue to converge, this book provides a forward-thinking approach for information managers in all types of institutions and settings. It cleverly combines both theory and experience to answer the question, ‘how do I create a successful future for my information service and my profession?’ This book is sorely needed. The future is now and the methodology is here.

Laurence Prusak

This is a very useful and innovative book for anyone seriously involved in the management of information. There have been other such books but this one is very up to date, candid, and curated by two highly experienced practitioners and scholars of the subject. I highly recommend it!

Mary Ellen Bates

As information professionals, we are constantly renewing how we define and value our roles. This handbook provides info pros at all levels with thoughtful chapters on strategies to address our most challenging issues. This is truly a resource to return to regularly rather than one that is read once and put on the shelf.

Editorial Reviews

Library and information professionals present an integral text for masters of library science students and a reference for information professional practitioners, but warn that it does not encompass all modern information theories, procedures, and practices. Whether read sequentially or in topical combinations around common themes, they say, the chapters provide a construct through which both students and practitioners may learn about the major challenges facing them in the early part of the 21st century, and find some guidance in how to tackle them.
