High quality, topical content helps information professionals worldwide keep up with latest industry developments
Facet Publishing, the commercial publishing and bookselling arm of the Chartered Institute of Library and Information Professionals, are pleased to launch its 2010 catalogue. The complete listing of practical, authoritative and topical books features over 50 new titles, which together cover a broad reach of LIS developments and highlight the challenges faced by library and information services in the digital age.
Whether you require a good understanding of the increasingly complex legal and regulatory framework that applies to information work, are a cataloguer with a responsibility for ensuring a smooth transition to Resource Description and Access (RDA), or are a publisher concerned with the evolving trends and behaviours in academic libraries, Facet’s new 2010 programme provides dynamic, relevant and up-to-date content for you.
Titles cover subjects ranging from archives and records management, to cataloguing and classification, knowledge and information management and the latest web 2.0 technologies
One 2010 highlight is E-books in Libraries: a practical guide by Kate Price and Virginia Havergal, which provides a practical appraisal of e-books: looking at planning and developing e-book collections and delivering them to readers.
Another title to watch out for is The Future of Archives and Recordkeeping: a reader. This timely book asks where the archives discipline has come from and where it must now go to remain professionally relevant in the 21st century.
We will also be publishing The Tech Set, a series of ten practical, fast-paced guides to today’s hottest new technologies for information professionals, from Mobile Technology and Libraries and Microblogging and Lifestreaming in Libraries to Wikis for Libraries and Gaming in Libraries.
In addition, in 2010, we will be publishing a number of textbooks including a third edition of the best-selling textbook, Introduction to Modern Information Retrieval by G G Chowdhury, Information Policies and Strategies by Ian Cornelius and Understanding Healthcare Information by Lyn Robinson.
This is just a taster of what Facet Publishing will have to offer in 2010.
