Reviews
?Eight years after the last edition, Introduction to Technical Services re-emerges with two new co-authors and extensive rewriting of the text. Although still a nuts-and-bolts text geared toward providing a broad and comprehensive overview of technical services for cataloging novices, paraprofessionals, and technicians, it has expanded to encompass decision-making, staffing, and management issues. ...As a broad introduction to technical services, this textbook provides a solid primer of the tasks and processes involved.?-Technical Services Quarterly
