DIGITAL CONSUMERS: RESHAPING THE INFORMATION PROFESSIONS David Nicholas and Ian Rowlands, editors The information professions - librarianship, archives, publishing and, to some extent, journalism - have been rocked by the digital transition that has led to disintermediation, easy access and massive information choice. There is a need for a new belief system that will help information professionals survive and engage in a ubiquitous information environment, where they are no longer the dominant players, nor, indeed, the suppliers of first choice. The authors of the acclaimed CIBER Google Generation study, and an international, cross-sectoral team of contributors have assembled together to provide this thought-provoking book built on hard evidence rather than PowerPoint 'puff'.

This book covers all aspects of literature in relation to readership, exploring the link between author and reader, the extent to which readers are dictating what libraries offer and how that has changed since the birth of reader development, and the impact that policy change and organisational development have had on the publishing and promotion of literature. It reflects on the challenges facing information professionals in reader development, promotion and partnerships, providing new professionals and students with practical guidance and new ideas, and a firm underpinning knowledge upon which to build. These user-friendly and clearly structured contributions bring together the work of expert practitioners and academics from both theoretical and practical perspectives.
