Alternative Library Literature, 1994/1995: A Biennial Anthology

by Sanford Berman (Editor), James P. Danky (Editor)

This anthology of essays from such library journals such as Progressive Librarian, Multicultural Review , and American Jewish History belie any stereotype of bespectacled librarians sternly quieting patrons. The contributors are loud, interesting, and hip, assailing varied subject matter from anti-semitism to feminism in information technology and right on through to censorship, trashy books for kids, library outreach, multicultural services, and virtual libraries. The new issue features a special discussion of "zine" publications and collections. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
