proach to many accepted practices is welcome. The seventy-six pages of appendixes add little to the informational value of this work. In fact the community-college profiles of the site-visit locations are so brief they appear bland. In total, the book is a good survey of current practice. It is an acceptable resource in the field and should be viewed by information practitioners inside and outside of the community college. Many inferences to the profession as a whole can be gained .-]udith Sessions, Mt. Vernon College , Washington , D .C.
