This is a very impressive piece of work. It does indeed address real problems, adds value, and stands out. It makes sense of a sometimes bewildering field and does so with clarity, an easy writing style, with many examples and case studies. Emphatically recommended. -- Ian McCallum, Libraries Alive!
