Reviews

Using Digital Information Services in the Library Workplace: An Introduction for Support Staff presents a well-rounded crash course for library support staff. There is not another up to date resource out there that covers as much ground as Marie Keen Shaw does with this text. The language used in this book is simple to follow and understand for library support staff and library graduate students alike. My work is made easier by the activities, discussions, and resources built-in ready for course development and immediate student use.

-- Austin Stroud, public library director, Monon Town and Township Public Library, and adjunct faculty in library programs at Ivy Tech Community College and IUPUI

Technological advances changed the 'way of doing' in digital library services. Marie Shaw's excellent textbook Using Digital Information Services in the Library Workplace provides Library Support Staff with the knowledge and skillsets required to tackle the myriad challenges presented in libraries.

-- Anastasia S. Weigle, assistant professor Information and Library Science, University of Maine at Augusta

This book is a useful tool for anyone new to or needing an up-to-date refresher on working with digital resources in a library workplace setting. Terminology, concepts and current practice are clearly explained. It works particularly well as a companion text to Marie Keen Shaw's Using Technology in the Library Workplace.

-- Sandra Rosado, librarian, head of technical service, Eastern Connecticut State University
