Books for the information professional to keep up with latest
industry developments
17 February 2010
Facet Publishing, the commercial publishing and bookselling arm of
the Chartered Institute of Library and Information Professionals, has
launched its 2010 catalogue of publications. It includes over 50 new
titles, which together cover a broad reach of LIS developments and
highlight the challenges faced by library and information services in
the digital age.
Titles cover subjects ranging from archives and records management,
to cataloguing and classification, knowledge and information management
and the latest web 2.0 technologies.
One 2010 highlight is E-books in Libraries: a practical guide
by Kate Price and Virginia Havergal, which provides a practical
appraisal of e-books: looking at planning and developing e-book
collections and delivering them to readers.
Another title to watch out for is The Future of Archives and
Recordkeeping: a reader. This book asks where the archives discipline
has come from and where it must now go to remain professionally relevant
in the 21st century. Facet will also be publishing The Tech Set,
a series of ten practical, fast-paced guides to today’s hottest new
technologies for information professionals, from Mobile Technology
and Libraries and Microblogging and Lifestreaming in Libraries
to Wikis for Libraries and Gaming in Libraries.
In addition, in 2010, Facet will be publishing a number of textbooks
including a third edition of the best-selling textbook, Introduction
to Modern Information Retrieval by G G Chowdhury, Information
Policies and Strategies by Ian Cornelius and Understanding
Healthcare Information by Lyn Robinson.
