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.
