Reviews

'This book has something for everyone - those who are looking for practical advice on how to manage a local collection (whether they work in libraries or other information environments) as well as those who are thinking about the broader issues involved in the availability and management of information worldwide. Complex processes are described in very accessible language, so that novices can digest the content just as well as folks who've been working with this information for several years. It will be an asset to any collection that includes the fields of information policy, information management, and government information'. Valerie Glenn, Maine Shared Collections Strategy, University of Maine, USA 'This book needs to be read by policy makers and practitioners responsible for ensuring that government information in any format is accessible to people both now and in the future. It considers critical issues and the increasingly urgent need to address them. It offers case studies that provide valuable insights into what works and what does not. And while its specific focus is on government information, it will be of value to anyone dealing with digital information of almost any type'. Jeffrey Griffith, Senior Advisor, Global Centre for ICT in Parliament 'This book is recommended to anyone interested in the fields of information policy, information management, and government information.'
