Subject Access to Information

Reviews / Votes

Exceptionally well written, organized and presented . . . Subject Access to Information: An Interdisciplinary Approach is a valuable instructional guide. . . . Very highly recommended for Library Science reference collections and supplemental studies reading lists. * Midwest Book Review * This book would be worthwhile for cataloging/metadata librarians and systems/technology librarians who are interested in subject-based access to information and how discovery systems work. It would probably be of most use to academic librarians and library schools, but public and special librarians (and others) who are interested in the discovery of resources based on subjects would benefit from this book as well. * Technical Services Quarterly * Subject Access to Information: An Interdisciplinary Approach succeeds in conveying, from an interdisciplinary perspective, the breadth and complexity of issues associated with providing subject access to information. The pedagogical features of the book (review questions, glossaries, and lists of references) are excellent. Beyond its targeted student audience, practicing catalogers and metadata librarians, as well as those involved in the development of library resource discovery tools, may benefit from reading this book. * Technicalities *
