Book Review: Using Social Media In Libraries: Best Practices, Todd Bruns
Book Review: Using Social Media In Libraries: Best Practices, Todd Bruns
Todd A. Bruns
Laura Solomon’s delightfully on-target Foreward sums up this book on libraries and social media: She quotes Avinash Kaushik (an analytics evangelist for Google), “Social media is like teen sex. Everyone wants to do it. No one really knows how.” (p. v). Solomon notes that social media is “more about building relationships than it is about promoting anything” (p. vii). This point is echoed in Walt Crawford’s Introduction, which focuses on the truth that libraries are at the heart of their local communities and that suggests that successful use of social media will strengthen those community bonds. Solomon and Crawford’s chapters …

Review Of Fundamentals Of Library Instruction, Kirstin Duffin
Review Of Fundamentals Of Library Instruction, Kirstin Duffin
Kirstin Duffin
Library instruction is often an underrepresented component in the library school curriculum. Monty McAdoo presents in this slim volume a clearly written guide to both the conceptual and practical aspects of library instruction. The book, one in the ALA Fundamentals Series, does not aim to provide an encyclopedic portrayal of the topic; rather, it offers an overview of the subject matter. The book is especially suitable to nascent library instructors, but more advanced teachers may also gleam useful knowledge.

Trotta is a consultant and adult program coordinator of the Connecticut Humanities Council. She is a retired public library director and has written a number of books on library management-related issues.

Review Of Mob Rule Learning: Camps, Unconferences, And Trashing The Talking Head, Kirstin Duffin
Kirstin Duffin
Do you know what an unconference is? Have you attended this type of conference alternative? Have you organized a camp?

Boule worked as a social sciences librarian at the University of Houston from 2004-2008 and is now employed as a consultant and freelance writer. She currently …
Review Of Information Need: A Theory Connecting Information Search To Knowledge Formation, Kirstin Duffin
Review Of Information Need: A Theory Connecting Information Search To Knowledge Formation, Kirstin Duffin
Kirstin Duffin
In this book, Cole attempts to establish a framework for the information searching process. Cole analyzes information need from the perspectives of both information science and computer science. Where information science considers the need as sensory (perceptual-cognitive), computer science views information need as mechanical (input-output). The book, one in the ASIST Monograph Series, is a conceptual work that presents a systematic overview of users’ information retrieval practices.

Review Of No Shelf Required: E-Books In Libraries, Kirstin Duffin
Kirstin Duffin
What is the next generation of reading? Adult e-book reader ownership doubled in the United States between November 2010 and May 2011 from 6% to 12%, according to a June 2011 Pew Internet & American Life Project survey. Librarians understand the need to provide the material their patrons want via the medium their patrons desire. The e-book medium, however, is relatively new, and it is taking librarians and publishers time and practice to understand how to incorporate e-books into library collections.
Review Of Open Access: What You Need To Know Now, Kirstin Duffin
Review Of Open Access: What You Need To Know Now, Kirstin Duffin
Kirstin Duffin
The scholarly publishing crisis is by no means a new concept. The rising cost of journals has been pricing libraries out of subscriptions for years now. This crunch on libraries’ acquisitions budgets has led many people to rethink the traditional publishing model. Enter the open access (OA) movement. Use of the term “open access” dates back almost a decade, but the field continues to evolve. In this new work, Walt Crawford organizes a clear and succinct introduction to and overview of OA, covering concepts related to OA journals, publishing, and repositories. Now retired, Crawford was a senior analyst at Research …
