About the Author :
Joseph R. Matthews has provided consulting assistance to numerous academic, public, and special libraries and local governments. He was previously an instructor at the School of Library Information Science (SLIS) at San Jose State University. Carson Block has been a library technologist for more than 25 years–as a library worker, IT director, and now a library technology consultant.

Review :
Library Information Systems is a quality text written by recognized experts in their field. The foundational understanding that it imparts is an excellent starting point for understanding the breadth and depth of the technologies that undergird the day-to-day library functions. Readers may find this book to be a good companion piece to more technically oriented texts, as it provides helpful context for how individual technological elements interact across workflows and infrastructure. Managerial perspectives and strategic planning discussions set this book apart as a useful addition to any systems librarian's collection, in particular those faced with a looming systems selection and migration project.
