{"product_id":"introduction-to-public-librarianship","title":"Introduction to Public Librarianship","description":"Put simply, there is no text about public librarianship more rigorous or comprehensive than McCook's survey. Now, the REFORMA Lifetime Achievement Award-winning author has teamed up with noted public library scholar and advocate Bossaller to update and expand her work to incorporate the field's renewed emphasis on outcomes and transformation. This \"essential tool\" (Library Journal) remains the definitive handbook on this branch of the profession. It covers every aspect of the public library, from its earliest history through its current incarnation on the cutting edge of the information environment, including statistics, standards, planning, evaluations, and results; legal issues, funding, and politics; organization, administration, and staffing; all aspects of library technology, from structure and infrastructure to websites and makerspaces; adult services, youth services, and children's services; associations, state library agencies, and other professional organizations; global perspectives on public libraries; and advocacy, outreach, and human rights.\nExhaustively researched and expansive in its scope, this benchmark text continues to serve both LIS students and working professionals.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 083891506X\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.083891506X.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:de la Peña McCook, Kathleen|Bossaller, Jenny S.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Gently used with minimal wear on the corners and cover.
