Editorial Review:

This book is the culmination of three years of study of information and referral activity in U.S. public libraries. Information and referal (I&R) is defined broadly as facilitating the link between a people and the resource or resources outside the library that can meet their needs. The book helps to define what I&R is, how some libraries have approached it, and what major problems have been associated with its adoption. It serves as a guide on the role of public libraries in I&R, managing I&R in a library environment, appropriate skills and training, the performance of libraries where I&R has been tried, the impact of library-based I&R on the client group, and how library-based I&R compares with non-library I&R.

Editorial Review:

Sponsored by the Bertelsmann Foundation, the International Network of Public Libraries series recognizes the challenges faced by today's librarians. Consisting of sixteen experts from ten countries, the network strives to create a forum in which information and expertise can be shared in order to increase the effectiveness and efficiency of libraries. Their approach is highly practice-oriented; case studies present especially successful solutions. This series is an innovative resource for public library professionals. Jorg Wiemers and Dieter Kranstedt explain the roles of organization accounting, performance accounting and cost accounting in the management of public libraries. They facilitate a discussion of these methods by using the example of the Paderborn City Library, which has implemented and found success through this system.

Sponsored by the Bertelsmann Foundation, the International Network of Public Libraries series recognizes the challenges faced by today's librarians. Consisting of sixteen experts from ten countries, the network strives to create a forum in which information and expertise can be shared in order to increase the effectiveness and efficiency of libraries. Their approach is highly practice-oriented; case studies present especially successful solutions. This series is an innovative resource for public library professionals. Madeleine Aalto and Trevor Knight recognize that libraries cannot live by government funding alone. With library costs on the rise, their goal in this volume is to devise alternative forms of fundraising, discussing innovative strategies utilized by libraries in the United States, the United Kingdom, and Germany. The authors provide extensive coverage of income-generating activites, from charges and fees to fundraising. Creative solutions are presented through detailed case studies of projects and events that work.
