Editorial Reviews
From School Library Journal
For this new edition, Riedling has updated the technology discussions, relevant Web sites, and online resources within the appropriate chapters rather than appending a separate chapter. The other major change is the final chapter, which contains both an exercise as well as a separate reference scenario for elementary school, middle school, and high school. The author discusses a wide range of standard reference tools. Information is boxed and bulleted for quick reference. Annotated and complete lists of print and online resources are included. The up-to-date Webliographies included at the end of each chapter will be of great assistance to students and beginning librarians. This is a helpful tool for those new to the profession. A good complement to the more general texts on librarianship that are often used.–Lori Matthews, Loyola School, New York City

From Booklist
Five sections make up this textbook for prospective school library media specialists, outlining the basics of reference service and selecting and using reference materials. Most of the chapters deal with types of reference sources--directories, biographical sources, dictionaries and encyclopedias, and so on. A major change from the previous edition (2000) is that annotated "Webliographies" have been added to these chapters. In addition, there is a new chapter on "The Web in Today's Reference Services." A final chapter offers a few scenarios and exercises. An appendix contains contact details for reference publishers. Although the book has some useful ideas, it also has several weaknesses, including inaccurate information in the list of selection tools and in the list of "Works Cited." It is especially lacking information needed by those who plan to work with children in grades K-6. Sharon E. Cohen

MISSING ENCYCLOPEDIA INFORMATION !!,
By
This review is from: Reference Skills for School Library Media Specialists: Tools and Tips, 2nd Edition (Paperback)
Chapter 6 is entitled "Dictionaries and Encyclopedias" ... but doesn't talk about encyclopedias! The entire chapter discusses only dictionaries.
Moreover, encyclopedias aren't given thorough in-depth treatment anywhere in the book. Was the encyclopedia section mistakenly omitted from the 2nd edition? This is a whopping fault for a textbook on reference information sources.
