• Winner of 2013 Significant New Edition Business Reference Source 2013 (United States)

Overview

Strauss's latest edition retains its place as an essential text for library students; an indispensable guide for practitioners in public, academic, and special libraries who deal with business inquiries; and a resource for entrepreneurs and business professionals. While widespread use of the Internet has made a vast amount of information within reach of the masses, specific knowledge is still required in order to find what is being sought on the web. Accordingly, public and academic librarians are finding themselves working closely with users at both ends of the information seeker spectrum more than ever before. This third edition of Strauss's Handbook of Business Information provides an up-to-date reference guide to business resources, both in print and online. Organized into two parts, the first six chapters address general areas of business while chapters 7 through 16 cover more specific topics, such as marketing, investment, and real estate. This book is invaluable to librarians in academic, public, and special libraries as well as business and library students studying business information or business research.

<p> As in previous volumes, the text is very readable, and the authors provide ample illustrations. This logically organized and easy-to-use volume is also relatively inexpensive. Still the best guide available for general business reference, this revised handbook belongs in the reference collection of every academic library as a replacement for the earlier edition. It is also inexpensive enough that most business librarians will want an additional desk copy. Summing Up: Highly recommended. - <p>Choice
