Download or read book Guide to Reference Materials for Canadian Libraries written by Kirsti Nilsen and published by Published for the Faculty of Library and Information Science by University of of Toronto. This book was released on 1992 with total page 620 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: **** About itself the 8th edition notes: "Primarily intended as an instructional guide for library personnel and researchers who work with reference materials, the Guide surveys the basic and most familiar or typical resources for general reference work, and for work with the disciplines of the humanities, social sciences, and pure and applied sciences." The 7th edition, titled Guide to basic reference materials . . . , is recommended by ARBA, v.16, but is missed by BCL3 and Sheehy. A solid work marred by the flimsy paper binding--a shockingly bad production decision: a bibliography gets repeated use. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
