The Multimedia Library, Third Edition: Material Selection and Use

By James Cabeceiras

Book Overview

This book is a basic introduction to the characteristics, selection, and utilization of library information media (excluding traditional print media). The emphasis is on information media requiring an electronic interface (hardware) for access. This book provides a detailed perspective for considering a systems approach, the necessity of being knowledgeable about copyrights and the importance of having a position on intellectual freedom. As such, the book will be useful to the professional librarian or student having limited experience with the multimedia formats that are being increasingly acquired by all types of libraries.
