These encompass the plant kingdom in all its divisions and aspects, except those of agriculture, horticulture, and gardening.

With materials ranging from those selected for the informed layperson to those for the specialist, this new edition reflects the momentous transition from print to electronic information resources. It is an appropriate purchase for public, college, university, and professional libraries.

Emphasizing training and development, this book covers evaluation techniques, various types of interviews, problem patrons, and other issues.Customer service, so important to success in business, is also a vital part of library service. Perhaps nowhere else does the concept play such a significant role as in the library reference department. Recent technological changes in the library have added myriad resources and searching techniques to an already complex encounter. This book shows librarians how to combine creativity with professional expertise to produce the happiest of results-a satisfied patron. Completely updated, this new edition reflects sociological and technological changes and trends that have transpired in the last decade. Current research methods in the areas of neutral questioning and interview evaluation have been incorporated, as have ALA's new guidelines and standards. After reviewing the historical background of, and research on, the reference interview, the authors discuss the effects of technology and how to serve special populations, emphasizing training and development while covering evaluation techniques.

Revised and updated, this compendium helps readers identify and understand the scope of key government reference sources-traditional books (including publications catalogs and telephone directories); information clearinghouses; and materials in new formats, such as CD-ROMs, datafiles, and Internet sites. The authors focus on free information and depository materials-both readily available through toll-free phone numbers, mail or e-mail requests to agencies, or federal depository library collections. Materials are fully described in annotations that differentiate between similar materials, identify typical citation formats, and note common abbreviations

<p>From the Preface:<br>Librarians, scholars, and teachers of literature and reference sources in the humanities have depended upon A. Robert Rogers's The Humanities: A Selective Guide to Information Sources since its first edition in 1974. The untimely death of Dr. Rogers in 1985 has left a gap among the tools of reference librarianship and bibliography. This third edition grew out of the concerns of the authors, both of whom teach advanced level reference courses in graduate library schools, for an updated guide to humanities information resources.</p>
