Pankl (humanities librarian, Kansas State Univ.), Daniel Theiss-White (general reference, Kansas State Univ.), and Mary Bushing (independent library educator) have compiled 16 essay-style chapters by 32 field specialists to create a thoughtful "best practices" reference for organizations employing librarians and information specialists. The guide represents the most advanced subject consideration currently available. Each chapter essay offers thorough consideration of issues related to recruitment, development, and retention. To ease location of relevant material, essays are further marked by thematic subheadings. While arguments are accessible and well supported, the essays' academic tenor and field-specific language make them best suited for subject specialists.
