商品簡介
This book presents essays and case studies arguing for a new approach to personalizing library services in higher education. They draw direct inspiration from the hotel industry's experiments in "boutique hotels," which stress uniqueness and hyper-personalized services over uniformity and consistency. Organized into essays and case-studies, the contributions consider face-to-face value, students as consultants, maximizing value while enhancing learning, boutique influences on the structures and lifelong learning at an Australian Catholic university, and more. The contributors are library and library-administrative professionals from around the world. Annotation c2013 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
