"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
