Critically acclaimed since its inception, Advances in librarianship continues to be the essential reference source for developments in the field of libraries and library science. Articles published in Advances have won national prizes, such as the recent Blackwell North America Scholarship Award for the outstanding 1994 monograph, article, or original paper in the field of acquisitions, collection, development, and related areas of resource development. All areas of public, college, university, primary and secondary schools, and special libraries are given up-to-date, critical analysis by experts engaged in the practice of librarianship, in teaching, and in research. Each volume of Advances in Librarianship contains an index, and each chapter includes references.
