The New Walford
Guide to reference resources
Volume 1: Science, Technology and Medicine
Ray Lester, editor-in-chief
First published in 1959, Walford's Guide to Reference Material achieved international recognition as a leading bibliographic tool across all subject areas. But, in the 1990s, the web transformed the information universe; and so Walford has been transformed. The New Walford (TNW) Volume 1: Science, Technology and Medicine is the first volume of a radically different Guide.
Published in a three-volume cycle, TNW will form the most substantial reference book of its kind in the English language. The work is unique in providing a pathway not only through the huge quantity of information now accessible via the web, but also through those print resources that remain valuable. The types of material cited have been greatly widened to reflect the revolution brought about by the use of networked information and, for the information professional, TNW's new way of categorizing resources reflects the fundamental changes that have taken place in the scientific, business, political and social information landscapes.
