Description: Designed for the uninitiated and presented in terms the layperson can understand, this text provides a comprehensive overview of the field, from concepts governing libraries to types of libraries, policies and procedures, personnel, materials, and library services. Trends in library standards, programs, and services; new information on computers and automation; and the development of library networks comprise just some of the subjects covered.
