商品簡介
Aimed at librarians who need to compete with electronic resources, this book offers a practical strategy for remaining competitive as a reference within the community, especially when it comes to appealing to the "Google Generation." Nicholas and Rowland (U College London, UK) replace myths about study preferences for young students with recommendations on how to preserve the future of the traditional library by observing the specific behaviors of so-called digital consumers. This book may also be used by students and researchers as a guide to getting the most out of services offered by local libraries. Distributed in the US by Neal-Schuman.
