About the Author
BERNARD S. SCHLESSINGER, Ph.D., is a professor emeritus from the School of Library and Information Studies at Texas Woman's University in Denton. Recently retired after a 35-year career in information science, Dr. Schlessinger is the author of 125 journal articles, many of them in the area of business, and several books, including the first, second, and third editions of The Basic Business Library: Core Resources and the first and second editions (with June H. Schlessinger) of The Who's Who of Nobel Prize Winners, both published by Oryx Press.
Reviews
This new edition preserves the objectives of the 1983 and 1989 volumes but updates and revises the second edition (Pro-fessional Reading, LJ 4/15/89). Numerous new titles have been added as well as obsolete or out-of-print titles deleted. The 200 titles now included have a total cost of $38,000, so obviously librarians will still have to be selective. The review of business reference literature now covers the years 1976-94, a time period that has seen the business section grow in importance to patrons. Online business services have multiplied and increased in usefulness; Sharon L. Criswell improved and updated that section. Another area of growth and importance is the chapter on "The Best Investment Sources" by Barbara A. Huett. The Investment Bookshelf list alone will endear librarians to investors, as passbook savings no longer provide even a hedge against inflation. Buy wherever possible and share with colleagues-no other collection depends so much on currency.
