Of course, libraries have also been affected by the expanding use of social media. This thoroughly updated title addresses all these changes and more, bringing you up to date on the monumental shifts impacting librarianship. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe book is designed to introduce LIS students to the profession, preparing them to enter an exciting and evolving world.
