Award-winning information theorists and practitioners Pearlstein and
Matarazzo have assembled a group of top international authors with experience
in public, academic, government, and special library settings, including
experienced independent information professionals, to address the critical
issues facing Information Management (IM) today.
This new handbook provides a context for approaching the world in which information professionals work; a tool, the Balanced Scorecard, to help demonstrate contribution and value; and a review of opportunities for new areas of employment and career development, ripe for applying the Information Services skill set. Through combinations of topical chapters with common themes, the professor and student will find a multi-perspective approach to the IM landscape. Used as a ready-reference, the IM practitioner will find both theoretical and pragmatic approaches to inform their decision making on traditional as well as new challenges.
For information and IM professionals, librarians, and students, this must-have handbook provides invaluable insights from the leading names in the field, enabling you to make the best decision no matter what challenges you face.

Library and information professionals present an integral text for masters of library science students and a reference for information professional practitioners, but warn that it does not encompass all modern information theories, procedures, and practices. Whether read sequentially or in topical combinations around common themes, they say, the chapters provide a construct through which both students and practitioners may learn about the major challenges facing them in the early part of the 21st century, and find some guidance in how to tackle them.
