These "chapters" were written by students in CLIS 724 (Special Libraries and Information Centers) at the University of South Carolina College of Library and Information Science over the period 1999-2004, 2007. Their assignment was to produce a chapter in a class-produced practical handbook on the management of special libraries and information centers. These chapters are written from the perspective of the beginning special librarian and are intended to provide basic "how-to" instructions on dealing with the issue or problem addressed. Additional chapters will be produced by students in other classes and will be posted here.
These chapters are the
intellectual property of the authors. The authors have
granted permission for copying and downloading for individual
and professional use by special librarians. However,
any additional use of these materials in any published form
(including re-publication on the Web) must be by permission of
the authors. Most of the authors have included an e-mail
address for contact purposes but if that does not work then you
may contact me, Robert V. Williams, Professor at: bobwill@sc.edu and I will
be in touch with the authors.
