. . . Two other chapters of exceptional merit are worth mentioning: one on off-campus library services, which speaks to the importance of bibliographic instruction and one-on-one service, and one on planning and using microcomputers in the small library, which advises against automating just for the sake of automating. Librarians who feel their libraries are technologically outmoded should read this chapter before making decisions regarding the use of microcomputers. This collection would make a worthy addition to library science holdings and those of small to medium-sized academic libraries. The price can easily be justified since it is aimed at most library employees, who should be encouraged to read the chapters pertaining to their interests and responsibilities. -The Journal of Academic Librarianship . . . the Operations Handbook will serve as a reference source for library school students and other librarians interested in the small academic library, or for librarians interested in exploring areas outside their own expertise. Most academic library literature continues to be geared toward large university and research libraries; McCabe is to be applauded for his second addition to the work of librarians in small academic environments. -Library Resources and Technical Services . . . Each chapter is well-written, and includes further relevant references. Also, considerably more attention has been paid to the peculiar needs of the smaller academic library than was the case in the companion work. Finally, not only does the handbok contain some downright good advice (on the Library Advisory Committee, staff training, and preservation programs, for example) but includes helpful articles on issues either infrequently addressed in the literature (e.g. student workers) or relatively new (e.g. micrcomputer personal productivity software, electronic book ordering). Recommended for the libraries of colleges, small universities and schools of library and information science. -CLJ ?. . . the Operations Handbook will serve as a reference source for library school students and other librarians interested in the small academic library, or for librarians interested in exploring areas outside their own expertise.
