About this title

Synopsis

Setting up an information service can be a daunting task, even with the assistance of support staff; without such help, the difficulty is to decide where to begin. This practical self-help guide provides a step-by-step approach to the tasks involved in setting up an information service. In this new edition there is a chapter on technology and an expanded bibliography. The author aims to cover all aspects from assessing the organization's information needs to establishing clerical routines and there are chapters recommending basic information resources and sections on staffing and physical layout. There are also a selection of checklists which include: what to have in a manual of procedures, selecting a classification scheme, and stock and equipment for consideration at the planning stages.
