Evaluating the Impact of your Library
Sharon Markless and David Streatfield
It can be difficult to get a grip on the rather slippery concept of service impact, but the authors of this new book have developed an effective answer. Their rigorously tested evidence-based approach helps LIS managers to work through a structured process of impact evaluation linked directly to their own objectives and priorities. This book is an essential tool for practising library and information service managers and policy makers in the field.
(NEW) April 2006; 184pp; hardback; 1-85604-488-2; £39.95 (£31.96 to CILIP Members)
Essential Law for Information Professionals
Second edition
Paul Pedley
This classic text offers both a complete picture of the law as it affects information management and an exploration of the fundamental principles that underlie practice. Completely updated for 2006, it includes new chapters on the Re-use of Public Sector Information, Human Rights, and Legal Deposit. A helpful glossary of terms is now included, and the chapter on Cybercrime and Computer Misuse has been substantially expanded.
