Editorial Reviews

Review

“[A] complete guidebook for librarians in keeping and maintaining a reference collection. Focusing on using resources to find the best and most efficient books on every subject, and information on finding the answer when it continues to elude ones search, Crash Course in Reference is a top pick for any librarian trying to make their collection the best possible.”–Midwest Book Review/Library Book Watch

“Written for the new librarian or one who has no training in reference services, or for the librarian needing a refresher of reference service or an introduction to the new reference methodology and resources available today, Crash Course in Reference truly presents the reader with a comprehensive overview of working as a reference librarian, from the interview, to the collection, to finding materials, and more....Useful for the future reference librarian as well as a resource of materials to be included in a reference library, the work is a great review as well as introduction to the life of a librarian, illustrating both the positive and the challenging situations”–ARBA Online


Book Description

Designed for the librarian in a small public library or a quick review for those offering reference services.
