Gr 9 Up-This series entry does not disappoint. Each chapter addresses a type of job related to the field, from acquisitions librarian to research assistant. Each entry includes a brief job description, history, a more detailed explanation of the work, education and physical requirements, possible employers, advancement opportunities, earnings, work environment, future outlook, and a section on professional organizations and associations. A "Quick Facts" box summarizes the requirements for each career. A well-organized and well-written addition.-Kathleen A.
