Product description
Review
..".a provocative treatise for the profession at large."
"For those of us who wonder about the future of our profession and feel that we have lost our way, this work by Michael Gorman is a must read."
"Gorman's book cannot be accused of wasting the time of the reader. His credo/polemic is written clearly and concisely."
"Gorman's writing is, as always, thoughtful, interesting, and stimulating. The ideas he so eloquently describes are inspirational and remind us of the values that should underlie and inform both strategic planning and day-to-day decisions."
"In this newest volume, this internationally renowned librarian takes an historic look at the profession of librarianship, and analyzes current trends and issues..."
"This book should prove especially useful to library media specialists when trying to update and add depth to their own book collections. Highly recommended."
