Loading... Foundations of Library and Information Scienceby Richard Rubin
![]() None No current Talk conversations about this book. for library science students This is a nice introductory textbook. In the history chapter I learned about a librarian of history whose name I am sure that I want to use for game characters in the future. Oh, and the information is good. This was very helpful for an overview of the profession. It came in handy for the e-Porfolio as well! There are no stars...what's to like (or not) about a standard text? This is a standard SLIS/MLIS text. Sure I read it (NOT), but I used it for most of my classes when I was writing papers and in need of citations to support my rantings on my specific type of Library dogma. Good? I think not.... It had several editorial mistakes in it...so for $75 for a paperback, it's best to go to your local library and see if they have or can order you a copy. I say I did get mine on Amazon for $35...and I donated it back to the library for all those others who are going to SLIS...save them some money... Arrrg! A bit dry, but what do you expect from a textbook! I found some of the material outdated, but it provided a decent foundation and prompted a lot of class discussion. no reviews | add a review
