Rezensionen

...a readable, enlightening addition to a librarian's professional development bookshelf... Legal Information Alert, March 2007 Comprehensive, easy to understand, and up-to-date, this title is recommended... Catholic Library World, Vol. 78, No. 1, September 2007 This is a work that every librarian and archivist should read; every library and archive should add it to the reference collection. Essential. CHOICE, Vol. 44, No. 11 (July 2007) A good reference on law...Carson is clear and concise in his analysis...Obviously, this is a valuable book and website for archivists and librarians managing programs and holdings in our litigious age. Records and Information Management Report This book should be required reading for anyone who works with copyright, intellectual access, patent law, fair use, or contracts. It is a simple (as simple as one can get regarding these laws), easy-to-use reference book, written for laymen, dealing with the complexities and intricacies of many laws related to libraries and archives. The author is well-known to librarians, having published the column 'Legally Speaking' in Against the Grain since 1999. Almost everything and anything dealing with libraries and the law is detailed here. Public Services Quarterly Carson is well qualified to write this book. He is educated as a librarian and as a lawyer...He demonstrates throughout the book a superb understanding that his readers are in need of legal information, but are not likely to have much or any formal training in the law. -- Kenneth D. Crews, Columbia University
