"Library Information Systems provides a very good overview of
library automation, includes lots of context for decision-making,
and does an excellent job of carefully explaining technical
terminology. ...this book is designed for use in a library and
information science course. It would also be useful for a
non-technical manager who assumes responsibilities for library
information systems, or for the small library director seeking a
broad context for information system decision-making." - Technical
Services Quarterly
"[a]n outstanding basis for understanding library information
systems (LIS), covering a broad scope of conditions and issues
concerning the adoption of technologies by libraries....a
definitive resource for decision makers to consider. Very Good." -
The Shy Librarian
"The glossary and definitions throughout the work provide a good
core for learning to speak modern libraryese." - Booklist
