Welcome to the Libraries Unlimited

section of the fall 2017 catalog for

public and academic librarians.

very one of us at Libraries Unlimited believes in the transformative impact
librarians and information service specialists can have in their communities.
We see that impact everyday in our own libraries, and we’re privileged to work
E side-by-side with our exceptional authors, providing quality resources to help
you acquire new skills, meet patrons’ evolving needs, and position yourself as an
invaluable resource. Our editors scout tirelessly for exemplary work by your peers, so
you can identify and devise new services at the cutting-edge of the field to respond to
your community’s priorities. Whether you are looking for some experienced guidance
as you launch your new “library of things” (pg. 153) or are ready to get your feet wet
with flipping your library instruction (pg. 187), Libraries Unlimited has the resources
you need.

We are also pleased to announce the release this fall of new editions on many of
our most popular textbooks, including The Evaluation and Measurement of Library
Services (pg. 161), Library and Information Center Management (pg. 160), and The
Organization of Information (pg. 147), all thoroughly updated and revised.

Founded by a distinguished professor and scholar in 1964, Libraries Unlimited today
provides academic, public, and school librarians with quality resources to further
professional development and support pre-service teaching. Under the ABC-CLIO,
LLC umbrella since 2008, Libraries Unlimited publishes more than 2,000 professional
guides, practical handbooks, information science textbooks, and reference works in
both print and electronic formats.

Whatever your goals and whatever your community’s priorities, Libraries Unlimited
brings you the practical, credible tools you need to build upon your professional
success.
