Learn Basic Library Skills Second North American Edition
A Practical Study Guide for Beginning Work in a Library or Other Information Agency

This combination text and workbook describes skills needed by anyone beginning work in a library or other information agency, whether at a professional or paraprofessional level. It explains tasks performed by library trainees; aspiring library technicians; librarians starting their training; clerical, temporary, and volunteer staff; and others with no relevant education or experience.
Written by a team of international librarians and library educators, it covers all areas of library work, including the types of materials collected by libraries; bibliographic records and tools; cataloging; acquisition and processing of materials; circulation systems; collection maintenance; shelving; damage; and inventory. Plentiful, clear examples and practice exercises help the reader master the basic skills needed for working in public, school, college, corporate, government, and special libraries.
Learn Basic Library Skills is one of nine study guides in the Library Education Series. Please see the back of this book for a complete listing, or visit for more information.
