Archiving Websites
A practical guide for information management professionals
Adrian Brown
This book is the first to offer practical guidance to information-management professionals seeking to implement web archiving programmes of their own. It will be particularly useful for those who need to collect and preserve specific elements of the web - from national domains or individual subject areas to an organization's own website.
Drawing on the author's experience of managing The National Archives' web-archiving programme, together with lessons learned from other international initiatives, this book provides a comprehensive overview of current best practice, together with practical guidance for anyone seeking to establish a web-archiving programme. It assumes only a basic understanding of IT and web technologies, although it also offers much for more technically oriented readers.
July 2006; 256pp; paperback; 1-85604-553-6; £39.95 (£31.96 to CILIP Members)
Reference and Information Services in the 21st Century
An introduction
Kay Ann Cassell and Uma Hiremath
This 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.
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.
