Summary:

The Information Audit is a process by which a library or information centre reviews and assesses its holdings, services, etc. This topic is one that has generated much interest over the last few years. The Information Audit: A Practical Guide will take the information professional through the stages of conducting an audit, from planning and carrying out to assessing and presenting the results and how to implement findings. As an aid to understanding, the book contains four international case studies to illustrate the information audit process in action. The Information Audit is directed at library managers in all sectors, but particularly those in special libraries, students and lecturers in library and information science.
