About this Title
Reviews of selected highlights:
Dienstleistungen Öffentlicher Bibliotheken [The Public Library Service], ed. Sektion öffentliche Bibliotheken / Philip Gill
“This German version of the original IFLA publication, which has been translated into many other languages, remains the most important basic work for the services of public libraries and is relevant even in times of digital transformation. It provides the basis for a well-founded and convincing line of argument toward funding bodies.”
Prof. Dr. Claudia Lux
Libraries as Places: Buildings for the 21st Century, ed. by Marie-Françoise Bisbrouck / Jérémie Desjardins / Céline Ménil / Florence Poncé / Francois Rouyer-Gayette
“This collective volume is one of the most important works presenting the new role of libraries and therefore provides the theoretical basis for all new library buildings. The book presents innovative developments and visions of how library planning and construction can be implemented in the future in a dialogue between architects and librarians.”
Prof. Dr. Claudia Lux
Hans-Gerd Happel: Das wissenschaftliche Bibliothekswesen im Nationalsozialismus [The Academic Library System during the Nazi Era]
“This is a basic work for everyone who is concerned with the history of German libraries in the 20th century and especially in the Nazi era. It is an important work for young librarians who want to better understand the definition and role of library ethics in a democracy.”
