I remembered that I have borrowed this book from CU library and I had read the whole book.

I had to read this for class. There were a few interesting chapters, but I had a hard time paying attention to much of it. It was certainly well researched though. ( )

A good overall introduction to the library sciences. It does not explain any one area in-depth, but it provides a clear overview of the profession and how the different parts are linked. I don't have any library experience, and I don't come from a 'library family,' so reading this before I entered grad school was essential to teaching me a few things that my classmates had already learned through experience.

I was required to purchase this book for my first class in my LIS graduate studies. The book is easy to read and provides a great introduction to what goes into being a librarian. ( )

boring, wordy and long. However, it does give you the basics on library history and practice. Also has a good further reading list ( )
