Reviews

Make it top of your reading list if you are still hesitating over whether RSS feeds, Flickr or a Wikipedia entry will be appropriate for your institution or might upset senior managers. - MmIT Journal Verdict: a great book to add to your collection. It certainly does do what it says on the tin . It is easy and interesting to read through, but can be referred to as and when needed, dipping in and out with guidance from the index. - SHINe Journal ...I would recommend this book to librarians from all sectors. The key concepts are explained thoroughly and the case studies provide good examples of practical applications of the tools. - Journal of Information Literacy Do you relish the opportunity to plunge in or would you prefer to wait at the edge until you are sure the water is warm enough? Reading this book may well persuade the waverers at least to try some of the approaches described; for those already in the pool it will confirm that this is an exciting place to be. - Journal of Librarianship and Information Science
