Reviews for Foundations of Library Services: An Introduction for Support Staff

Foundations of Library Services: An Introduction for Support Staff (2nd ed.) by Hali R. Keeler will prepare all ILS support staff students (LSS) to meet the challenges affecting our libraries today. Keeler's 35 years of experience in the information science field is self-evident through her discussion questions and activities, reinforcing foundational library service concepts. As a full-time professor in an ALA certified undergraduate ILS program, I always seek textbooks that convey foundational concepts that are easy to understand with realistic examples and expectations. Keeler's book provides a blueprint towards creating a robust syllabus on the subject of library services.--Anastasia S. Weigle, assistant professor Information and Library Science, University of Maine at Augusta
