About the Book

Used in library schools worldwide, this standard provides students with a thorough understanding of technical services. Updated and expanded, the 7th edition was carefully re-examined by the authors and includes a complete rewriting of the Cataloging and Processing section. The book covers all aspects of the field—from acquisitions to managing the cataloging department—with new emphasis on automation as it affects technical services work and those skills that can be developed through work experience or classroom instruction. Various automated acquisitions systems are described, and a detailed section on automated serials systems is included. Complete with helpful illustrations, statistics, and study guide questions, this text is a must for library and information science students!

Review :
?An excellent all-around primer, Introduction to Technical Services is an important and core addition to any Library Science collection, and highly recommended for academic, corporate, and community librarians charged with the responsibility of coping with the rapidly evolving technologies relevant to all aspects of library operations.?-Wisconsin Bookwatch ?Eight years after the last edition, Introduction to Technical Services re-emerges with two new co-authors and extensive rewriting of the text. Although still a nuts-and-bolts text geared toward providing a broad and comprehensive overview of technical services for cataloging novices, paraprofessionals, and technicians, it has expanded to encompass decision-making, staffing, and management issues. ...As a broad introduction to technical services, this textbook provides a solid primer of the tasks and processes involved.?-Technical Services Quarterly "An excellent all-around primer, Introduction to Technical Services is an important and core addition to any Library Science collection, and highly recommended for academic, corporate, and community librarians charged with the responsibility of coping with the rapidly evolving technologies relevant to all aspects of library operations."-Wisconsin Bookwatch "Eight years after the last edition, Introduction to Technical Services re-emerges with two new co-authors and extensive rewriting of the text.
