NEAL-SCHUMAN DIRECTORY OF LIBRARY
TECHNICAL SERVICES HOME PAGES

by Barbara Stewart

Here is a unique directory that will help the technical services 
department in any library find a multitude of helpful professional
resources quickly and inexpensively--resources that could cost thousands 
of dollars or required time-consuming calls or visits
to other libraries to obtain. The guide provides information about 
hundreds of home pages, and is divided into three sections:

     Part I, "Acquisitions", lists the best publisher and vendor home 
pages; conservation, and gifts and exchange home
     pages; and library acquisitions department pages. These can offer 
help with price and other information checks,
     ordering and claiming, book repair and preservation, getting leads 
on book and equipment donations, finding a wdie
     range of bibliographies, and using forms online.
     Part II, "Cataloging", offers information on everything from linking 
to frequently used library catalogs around the world
     to obtaining classification and indexing information, and learning 
about authority control and all types of MARC
     documentation. Sections here are also devoted to cataloging Internet 
resources, foreign publications, computer files,
     foreign languages, legal, medical, and nonprint materials, music, 
and serials. 
     Part III, "General Home Pages", covers the best organized and most 
informative of these great sources for
     problem-solving tips and news about hot issues. 

Each listing includes a current URL address and a detailed annotation 
explaining what is unique or best about each site. With
over 40 screen captures of home pages discussed, an index, and listings 
for archives of discussion lists, listservs, table of
contents sites, and documentation resources, this is one directory that 
that you'll want to keep right at your workstation.
