The book describes types of libraries, from school media centers and academic libraries to public and special libraries, as well as types of jobs, including public service, technical services and collection management, rare books and archives, and technology. Some of the professional issues discussed include libraries in communities, intellectual freedom, and the role of libraries in advocacy.
