This book bores you to death
| Customer Rating: | | This book was necessary for my class. Maybe it could have been interesting, but sadly it wasn't. |
Foundations of Library and Information Science Text
| Customer Rating: | | This item arrived within the standard 4-14 business days and in wraps. Crisp corners and well packaged, because I order two items from Amazon they placed the rather large texts in a small box. Well done. |
Foundations of Library and Information Science
| Customer Rating: | | Very , very unhappy with this book and the seller. The book reeks of cigarette smell, it is impossible for me to hold the book in my hands for more then 15 to 20 minutes at a time. Would never buy anything from this seller. |
Text for Library Science
| Customer Rating: | | This book was used as the text for a class in library science. It is a very good introduction to the subject and very readable. Anyone interested in studying information or library science might want to check this out to get an overview. It deals with current issues, but it is a foundational text, so the discussions on marketing and Web 2.0 are just mentioned. |
Good foundation builder
| Customer Rating: |
Yes it proved uninspiring reading, but get over it! As someone completely new to library science, I learned a lot from Dr. Rubin's book. What do you expect from an academic textbook? Not everyone who writes is a natural storyteller. Despite the fact that this book could be revised differently, it gets the job done rather well. It introduces you to library science, so quit your whining about its dryness. |
