Harrod's Librarians' Glossary: 9,000 Terms Used in Information Management, Library Science, Publishing, the Book Trades, and Archive ManagementRaymond John Prytherch **** A standard reference since 1938, cited in BCL3 and Sheehy. The present edition sports a new subtitle to reflect the changing emphases of the information world. It also improves coverage in fields where previous editions were less than adequate, including archive work, records management, conservation and preservation, networking and computer terminology, and gives greater depth to the international perspective by inviting contributions from the US, Australia, and Japan.
