Trade Review
I would recommend that all libraries add this series to their collections, and strongly encourage staff to read and discuss their contents. Edward Reid-Smith, Charles Sturt University, Australian Library Journal 61, 1 (2012) "Each topic is well covered with a firm research basis which in some cases is indeed an innovation for that subject. The volume is consistently edited and elegantly produced; each paper has full references and there is an index. It is well worth reading, to provoke reflection on one's own service and its context as much as for specific advice or ideas." Stuart James, LIbrary Review, vol 61 iss 3
