The new edition brings information about the sources up to date as of late 1988, adding or deleting titles where appropriate. While primary use of the manual continues to be in library science courses, its benefits extend to all students and researchers. The pages are three-hole punched and perforated.

Any library that does not have a copy of Basic Research _ Methods for Librarians ought to acquire this edition, and many library schools will want to put it on the list of required readings. It remains the best book on its subject.
