Summary

Award-winning information theorists and practitioners Pearlstein and
Matarazzo have assembled a group of top international authors with experience
in public, academic, government, and special library settings, including
experienced independent information professionals, to address the critical
issues facing Information Management (IM) today.

This new handbook provides a context for approaching the world in which
information professionals work; a tool, the Balanced Scorecard, to help
demonstrate contribution and value; and a review of opportunities for new areas
of employment and career development, ripe for applying the Information
Services skill set. Through combinations of topical chapters with common
themes, the professor and student will find a multi-perspective approach to the
IM landscape. Used as a ready-reference, the IM practitioner will find both
theoretical and pragmatic approaches to inform their decision making on
traditional as well as new challenges.

For information and IM professionals, librarians, and students, this
must-have handbook provides invaluable insights from the leading names in the
field, enabling you to make the best decision no matter what challenges you
face.
