From Library Journal
Much more than just another library resource guide, this book goes beyond the walls of libraries and out into the offices of experts of all types. Part 1, "Unlocking the Information Vault," describes basic library resources, selected "supersources," U.S. government sources, business information, and computerized research, and includes lots of phone numbers and useful tips. Part 2, "Experts Are Everywhere," covers identifying experts and strategies for dealing with them. Part 3 describes two sample searches. This wonderful book would be particularly useful for business people or writers; some dedicated students might appreciate its scope. Highly recommended for most libraries. Anne Washburn, Julius C. Smith Law Lib., Greensboro, N.C.
