    3.0 out of 5 stars Fine textbook; avoid Kindle version
    Reviewed in the United States on 22 September 2013
    Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase
    The textbook is required by my MLS program and is standard of the Library and Information Science Text series. It does seem to be a good starter for learning the very basics of collection management. As usual, more theoretical than anything.

    As far as the Kindle version, I would strongly advise against it. I don't have a problem with page numbers; the problem is that no one ensured the content stayed in the correct order within chapters. Paragraphs are split up without warning and you have to search and attempt to use context to figure out where it picks up again. Tables of information are split up, making comprehension difficult because you are too busy focusing on switching pages to try to keep the information in proper order when reading. Some text is simply lost or missing. I understand having to format the book into an e-version to make the text searchable and so forth, but some effort to keep the content comprehendible would be nice.
