With a third edition of Tim Padfield's classic text, Copyright for Archivists and Records Managers just published, there are many more practical and useful copyright and legal issues titles to follow. Look out for further details of a brand new subscription-based web product, Keeping within the Law and a second edition (this time in print) of Digital Copyright, both by Paul Pedley. Look out too for Information Rights in Practice by Alan Stead and Information Governance by Angela Abell later on in the year.

Christine O'Hare's essential Business Information Sources: a beginner's guide is due in March and will be packed full of useful tips on how to get the best out of business information resources. We can also look forward to Karen Blakeman's Evaluating the Integrity of the Information Sources You Use, which looks at how to select quality information sources.

Four major new textbooks are to be published including a second edition of The Library in the 21st Century by Peter Brophy and Librarianship: the complete introduction, by Gobinda Chowdhury, Paul F Burton, David McMenemy and Alan Poulter. Also due out shortly are Organizing Information by G G Chowdhury and Sudatta Chowdhury and Research Methods in Information by Alison Jane Pickard, which is out next month.

Following on from the acclaimed Principles and Practice in Records Management and Archives Series launched in 2006 are two more titles for records managers, archivists and any library and information professionals involved in these vital areas: Planning and Implementing Electronic Records Management by Kelvin Smith (author of Freedom of Information: a practical guide to implementing the Act) and Understanding Data and Information Systems for Recordkeeping by Philip C Bantin.

This is just a taster of what Facet Publishing has to offer in 2007. Take a look at our website www.facetpublishing.co.uk or e-mail info@facetpublishing.co.uk  for further information about our complete list of publications.
