It also acts as a useful reference resource in itself, giving descriptions for a range of information services.' INTERNET RESOURCES NEWSLETTER Reference and Information Services in the 21st Century is the most current introduction to reference work available. Its integrated approach effectively synthesizes the growing need for electronic resources with the continued importance of print titles and face-to-face transactions. The second edition of this highly regarded textbook incorporates a timely new chapter, 'Using New Technology - Reference 2.0', which will include a wide range of new tools that can be used for reference purposes. There will also be new material on non-fiction reader's advisory work; chat and IM reference; marketing; and staff competencies and training in Reference 2.0, webpage development, database evaluation and multi-format referencing. Striking an ideal balance between the practical and the theoretical, this innovative text will appeal to LIS educators, students, and both novice and experienced professionals.
