Review
"Rubin's book will for now be the textbook for MLIS foundations courses...As Victorian travelers once carried Baedekers, MLIS students will now carry their Rubins." "Content is clear, thorough, balanced, and highly readable. Practical information is made even more meaningful with figures, charts, tables, updated appendixes, and revised lists of selected readings. A superb resource that contributes greatly to its field."
