Reviews
'British Librarianship and Information Work began in 1929, became quinquennial in 1958, and was last published in 1993. This is the first volume to cover a decade and the first to be issued by the new publisher, Ashgate, which has become such a major force in international LIS publishing. They are to be thanked for taking up the challenge of continuing this important and authoritative record of British achievement in the field.' John Feather, CILIP Update, April 2007 'John Bowman and Ashgate are to be congratulated on reviving this essential series and covering not only a momentous decade for libraries from 1991-2000, but producing the 2001-2005 volume so expeditiously... there are many riches in these two volumes and anyone interested in seeing what has been gained and what has changed over the last fifteen yeard would learn much from reading them' . Refer 23(2) Spring/Summer 2007 '...provides a valuable record of what was a remarkably important decade.' Australian Library Journal May 2008 'This is a potential reference source for our own profession and is well worth visiting and using by and for practitioners at all levels.' Reference Reviews, Vol 22, no 1 2008 'At a time of new realism in public affairs, the empiricism, clarity and lack of pretence of BLIWseems to me to provide the perfect antidote to a librarianship literature preoccupied with technology, change, futurology and gloom in equal measure. Long may these volumes, and the profession whose history they record, continue to thrive.' Journal of Librianship and Information Science
