Summary

An academic library is a vast organization like a miniature city. This book examines seven professional trends, then tests them against the four case studies to match theory against practice. Appreciating librarians as the experts on their profession who combine training, knowledge, and experience, this study relies on the voices of librarians themselves, talking about their work.
