Library Journal

Lively, a professional speaker and writer on workplace issues and the president of American Pioneer, Inc., has written a guide to dealing with information from multiple sources, whether in memos, E-mail, voice mail, or FAXes. Her title, however, is somewhat deceptive, since her work is limited to office information. It is made up of two parts: managing yourself (by deciding what is important to know) and managing incoming and outgoing information (through organizational techniques). Lively contends that while it is impossible to know everything, workers can be organized to know everything they need to know. She includes step-by-step guides, charts, and helpful hints. Although few books deal specifically with this issue, much of the information here can be found in titles on time management, e.g., Thomas Buckholtz's Information Proficiency: Your Key to the Information Age (Van Nostrand Reinhold, 1995). Appropriate for public libraries.Kathy Shimpock-Vieweg, Muchmore & Wallwork Lib., Phoenix, Ariz
