A new chapter has been included on national and international library associations and on UK educational bodies.
For students of the City and Guilds of London Institute Library Assistant's Certificate, the Business and Technology Education Council's National Certificate option module on Library Work, and also for managers in charge of in-service training and induction programmes, and those needing an overview of library activities, such as teachers in charge of school libraries.
