Reddit scan:I recently received a promotional leaflet in the mail regarding books and resources specifically written for librarians, by other librarians and information professionals.A few that caught my eye after reading some of the comments and posts here made me think about how helpful they would be and to what extent they helped a librarian stay "up-to-date".They were:The Makerspace Librarian's Sourcebook, edited by Ellyssa Kroski (March 2017)Successful Enquiry Answering Every Time by Tim Buckley Owen, 7th ed. (April 2017)Information Literacy in the Workplace by Marc Forster (April 2017)You can browse their latest catalogue here if you're interested in seeing what other titles they have published.What do you think of books like these? Have you been offered invitations to book fairs specifically for librarians or even catalogues of books tailored for your library area/sector? Were they helpful? And would you recommend them?These books were published by Facet Publishing -- I am in no one way affiliated with them. http://ift.tt/2uE3srf by Towson Makerspace
