"I'm giving it three stars because it was not as horrifying as I thought it might be. Some parts were really interesting. And other parts were not. Well, that's a textbook for you!"
"This was a good book to read for an intro text to library and information science. It covered the history of the field as well as current issues and challenges. Some of my classmates felt he had a doomsday view of the career field, but he generally balanced his perspective."
"Obviously this was for class, but I did actually enjoy it! It was thorough, well written, and interesting (as a newcomer to the field). My only complaint is that a lot of the info was outdated, which is clearly a never-ending battle in this particular filed. Things change quickly, and a new edition with updated info and statistics is a must! KSD"
