PREFACE TO THE TENTH EDITION, ADVICE ON USING THE GLOSSARY, GLOSSARY
Ray Prytherch is an information consultant specializing in information management, editorial and bibliographic services. He is the author or editor of several other Gower/Ashgate titles, including the Handbook of Library and Information Management. He was also editor of Information Management Report (a monthly newsletter) from 1991 to 2003, was a co-compiler of Walford's Guide to Reference Material and was co-editor of the series Librarianship and Information Work Worldwide.
’This edition of Harrod's Librarians' Glossary, is both reassuringly traditional and familiar but with just the right level of coverage of the information world to keep it contemporary and relevant. It also remains, coming from Yorkshire based Prytherch and Aldershot headquartered Gower, refreshingly British in focus. This might be an inconvenience in North America where definitions for the Music Libraries Trust, UK Libraries Plus and the Walford Medal will have little relevance, but there is still enough international content to serve a wide audience. All major libraries need this new edition. Individual librarians and information workers should also be sure to have a copy accessible as this remains one of the most important sources of reference for the profession.’ Reference Reviews, February 2006 ’This resource is suitable for library professionals, information specialists, and others in the library and information science field.’ American Refernece Book Annual, Vol 37, 2006
