Review # 1 was written on 2014-05-30 00:00:00 Klaus Struve A large portion of this book is out of date, mainly because it is primarily a handbook, and its lists of significant libraries, institutions, and publications can no longer be considered current (though I don't doubt that many of the things listed are still significant today, it's just that I can't be sure). Another large portion of this book is sadly current even though it probably wasn't meant to be. Many of the issues discussed in these academic essays deal with education, curricula, ethnic and cultural studies, hegemony, and racism, and even though now these issues deal more centrally with a different ethnic group, they are sadly prevalent and big problems even years after this book was published. That's not to say I didn't find them fascinating and informative, though. The essays in this book that were actually essays, rather than listings, highlighted tons of areas of librarianship and gave me a glimpse into my next three years as an MS student.
