Purchase options and add-ons

Used in library schools worldwide, this standard text provides students with a thorough understanding of technical services. Updated and expanded, the eighth edition further emphasizes the rapidly changing environment in which technical services are conducted.

The book covers all aspects of the field―from acquisitions to managing the cataloging department―with five new chapters. "Technical Services Issues" includes material related to physical space needs; "E-resources Issues" examines how the growth of e-materials impact technical services work; "Copy Cataloging" reflects the ever increasing need to be more efficient and also to save limited funds for technical services activities; "Overview and Decisions" addresses the issue of why and how the local OPAC has become a gateway to the universe of knowledge; and "Processing Materials" covers the activities involved in making sure items that go into a library's collection are properly identified as belonging to the library and where the item is physically located in the collection. All other chapters have been extensively rewritten and updated to reflect 2010 technical service functions and activities. Complete with helpful illustrations, statistics, and study guide questions, this text is a must for library and information science students!

Editorial Reviews

Review

“This substantial volume is the standard textbook for courses on technical services in library and information science (LIS) programs, and with good reason. It succeeds in doing what . . . an introductory textbook should do: balance high-level overviews of acquisitions and cataloging . . . with judiciously chosen details that are sufficient to elucidate the subject, but not so abundant as to completely overwhelm the inexperienced student. . . . learners, at various stages of knowledge, will find Evans, Intner, and Weihs to be adept, trustworthy guides to the past, present, and probable future landscapes of technical services work.” ―Library Resources and Technical Services

This was so thoroughly dry that I had to have a glass of water going though the chapters. I realize the material is dry too, but they should have taken the time to spice it up a little. Also, could have used an editor for the typos and grammar mistakes. Frustrating.

Product arrived quickly and was as described. The text itself is a bit dry, but thoroughly explains the details of cataloging, acquisitions, etc.

Reviewed in the United States on February 11, 2018
A great textual resource for LIS or Library Science students and professionals wanting to learn about what all goes into running a library tech services operation. The text covers everything from MARC recordkeeping, AACR2 and RDA standards and even Library of Congress Subject Headings LCSH. Advice is also presented on best practices for composing original and copy cataloging processes.
