ALA World Encyclopedia of Library and Information Services (Book Review) 1980-09-01 6 .pdf application/pdf 3303 188 53 A good example of the breadth and depth of subject treatment may be found in the section on academic libraries (eighteen pages), which is divided into seven subsec- tions, each written by a different author. Beginning with a review of the purposes, goals, and objectives of academic libraries, the article continues by describing in detail the services that are provided for users; the development and importance of collections to support teaching, research, and service; key issues in administration, governance, and finance; standards and trends in the measurement and evaluation of effec- tiveness; the bases and practical concerns of library cooperation; and laws and legislation that affect both the support and operation of academic libraries. cache/crl-13582.pdf txt/crl-13582.txt
