"The contributing authors, who have spent years in the trenches as corporate information professionals, bring their individual and specialized points of view to provide the reader with easily relatable guidance and practical advice … Each chapter is well written, informative, and practical, which is to be expected from a handbook, making it an appropriate addition to any corporate library. Chapters from this publication are relatively brief, making them easy to digest and likely to find their way onto syllabi in any number of information science courses, and they include good prompts for classroom discussion."
