Advances in Librarianship Marks 30th Anniversary
This year brings the 30th anniversary of the book series Advances in Librarianship. Volume 30 of this title is appearing in the fall of 2006. Regarding the theme for the volume, Advances in Librarianship Editors Eileen G. Abels and Danuta A. Nitecki commented, “This theme was easy to identify because we wanted to focus on advances over three decades and commemorate the title’s history.”
Further, the editors noted: “This volume marks three decades of a monographic series that has highlighted key trends and issues in librarianship. Each volume has done so by giving a snapshot of current research and activities, documented by excellent literature reviews and presented through chapters that experts contribute.”
Established in 1969 and published at approximately yearly intervals, the series provides a permanent digest of developments in the field. Articles published in the series have won national awards and are frequently cited. In the articles, experts engaged in the practice of librarianship, in teaching and in research provide critical analysis relating to issues and trends affecting libraries at public, college, university, primary and secondary schools, as well as special libraries.
Advances in Librarianship is available online, back to Volume 24 (2000), on ScienceDirect. ![]()
