Material Detail

Many library science textbooks are written for graduate-level courses, rather than for Library Technical Assistants newer to the field. Library Technical Assistants fill many roles in all types of libraries in all departments. Undergraduate library science programs are often practical in nature and provide students with the foundation needed to work in libraries, and potentially continue their education in a graduate-level library science program. This book provides an overview of various common departments and positions in libraries, applicable to all types of libraries. The focus of this book may seem to be on public libraries, and that is because there are more public libraries and public library staff positions in Illinois than in any other library type.
