| Summary: |
Access services is the administrative umbrella typically found in academic libraries where the circulation, reserves, interlibrary loan, stacks maintenance, and related functions reside. These functions are central to daily operations and the staff are often seen as "the face" of the library. But while access services impact every user of the academic library, these functions can be unseen and often go unnoticed and uncelebrated. This thoroughly revised edition of 2013's seminal Twenty-First-Century Access Services highlights the expanded duties of these departments; the roles these services continue to play in the success of the library, students, and faculty; and the knowledge, skills, and abilities these library workers need. In four parts it explores: facilitating access, leading access services, assessing access services, and developing access services professionals. |
