Review :
Like the second edition, this latest ELIS is available either in print or online with combined print and online combination packages also offered by publisher CRC Press, part of the Taylor & Francis group. One cannot but be impressed by the breadth of coverage … Presentation of the print version is excellent with a clear typeface in a two column format signposted by boldface subdivisions and helpful abstracts placed at the beginning of articles. … There is simply no other work that comes near it in scale or spread … for librarians and information specialists it must be regarded as the pre-eminent reference source for the profession. Collections serving institutions where library and information science, museum or archive professionals are trained or undertake research will want to acquire ELIS3.—Tony Chalcraft, in Reference Reviews, VOL 25, No. 1, 2011 Praise for the Previous Edition: …guided by an editorial advisory board that reads like a who's who in library and information science … outstanding essays by leading experts in the digital library services.—Library Journal …highly recommended to keep library faculty and staff current … should be bought by every research library.—Choice … a diverse array of timely, useful, and informative essays compiled from a global perspective … indispensable… a unique "archive" of the history of library associations and libraries throughout the world. No other single work features this important information.—Barbara I. Dewey, Dean of Libraries, The University of Tennessee, Knoxville
