Table of ContentsReviews'... a tightly focused, this-is-where-we've-got-to book which any librarian working in this sector would benefit from reading.' The Library Association Record 'Thoroughly researched and written in a straightforward style.' Online & CD Rom Review 'The interest and value of this book to those involved in information studies education is great...the existing literature base on the subject of academic libraries will welcome the addition of this work - its multidimensional perspective is truly its strength. Jordan has filled a knowledge gap in the field by providing valuable insights into how the academic library might go about evolving in order to flourish - never take your eyes off the user!' Education for Information 'Directed for students and new practitioners, the writing has a clear and direct style well supported by references at the end of each chapter. One of the many good qualities of this book is its structure, with headings and sections that enable easy navigation through the text. As a professional working in an academic library, it is refreshing to read a book in which I can recognise the reality of the everyday practice. It is difficult to fault the book on its coverage of the subject...This is an excellent and timely book. I have no doubt that it will become a standard reference for students and new professionals. I would also commend it to colleagues as a useful summary of current thinking.' Electronic Library '...very readable book.'
