A step-by-step guide to working with vertical files and its alternatives based on Shirley Miller's Vertical Files and its Satellites, second edition (Libraries Unlimited, 1979), this volume introduces new resources, new products and new techniques, and serves as a guide to specific kinds of supplementary materials. The general approach and the coverage of topics has been changed, placing the emphasis on alternatives.
Pamphlets and clippings are compact, retrievable, current, unique and authoritative. They enable librarians with limited budgets to cover many otherwise financially prohibitive subjects. With these features, vertical files are becoming increasingly attractive to school, public and academic librarians. This book is designed for library staff members working on their library's vertical file, or those wanting to set one up.
Twenty-eight contributions from reference librarians discuss a variety of professional issues. Topics include, for example, orientation for the new reference librarian, customer service at the reference desk, working in a teaching library, reference assistance to remote users, training student information assistants, and professional development. The volume has been published simultaneously as The Reference Librarian, nos.72 and 73, 2001. Readers must bypass four pages of advertising ahead of the title page. c. Book News Inc.
