the ‘‘research and developing theory’’ of health information onthe Internet (p. viii). Relying on an impressive body of researchfrom a variety of pertinent disciplines from mostly WesternEnglish-speaking countries, Cullen provides readers with avery broad and inclusive view of the electronic healthinformation world, ensuring that Health Information on theInternet has a place on the shelves of practicing healthprofessionals as well as librarians.

The book consists of eight chapters and covers a broadrange of topics. The first three chapters of the book arededicated to providing a background and foundation for laterchapters. For instance, chapter 2, ‘‘The Structures of Knowl-edge Related to Health Information on the Internet’’, examineshow knowledge is structured in the health sciences. Thischapter also details how print materials in the health scienceshave migrated to the electronic environment and covers thedebate surrounding Open Access.

The next four chapters veer toward more specific topicssuch as quality of resources, how health professionals use theInternet, telemedicine, online medical services, and consumerhealth issues. For librarians, chapter five, ‘‘Physicians andOther Health Professionals’ Use of the Internet’’, is particularlyintriguing. For instance, Cullen seeks to explain and offersolutions to some of the access barriers to Internet resources forbusy health practitioners like lack of skill and support, physicalaccess, and attitudes. The final chapter draws all the otherchapters together and explores future trends and challenges.Overall, this is an excellent and well-rounded look at healthinformation resources on the Internet. Any librarian who workswith health-related resources would benefit from reading it.Health Information on the Internet would also be an excellentresource for students in health-related programs.—Lisa A.Ennis, Reference Librarian, Lister Hill Library of theHealth Sciences, University of Alabama at Birmingham,Birmingham, AL 35294 blennis@uab.eduN.

Learning to Lead and Manage Information LiteracyInstruction, by Esther S. Grassian and Joan R. Kaplowitz.New York: Neal-Schuman, 2005. 321 p. $75 (book and CD-ROM). ISBN: 1-55570-515-4.

Learning to Lead and Manage Information LiteracyInstruction provides the academic librarian with the ground-work for advancing the cause of information literacy in themany arenas emerging across academia. Grassian and Kaplo-witz follow their seminal work Information Literacy: Theoryand Practice with the next step: information on extension ofinfluence into the university. The work demonstrates athorough understanding of the relevant literature and practicesneeded for effective managerial outreach for change.

Librarians have had exposure to management literature inmany contexts especially those books that advocate the adoptionof key leadership concepts in a variety of library arenas. Yet, atthis time and space in libraries across the United States,university reorganizations dictated by changing workplacerequirements are resulting in an increased demand to knowhow to get and use information in coursework. InformationLiteracy instructors, managers, and directors must seize this

perfect opportunity to align the library with key academicmissions. Learning to Lead and Manage Information LiteracyInstruction provides for this gap in the library literature.

Grassian and Kaplowitz, as in their previous work, groundtheir thinking in literature, this time, the current literature ofmanagement, leadership, funding, and strategic thinking forchange. Beginning with introspection for the librarian onleadership potential (‘‘Developing the Leader within You’’), thechapters progress towards more political and pragmatic activitythat will advance information literacy within the institution.Their definition of leadership is motivating to readers:‘‘Leadership is not bestowed upon people with their job title.It consists of a set of values, traits, and characteristics thatdetermine how you behave’’ (p. 3). Librarians should keep anotebook in their reading area, for the actions outlined in canbe seen in the everyday work of all.

Chapters on management include effective use of commu-nication channels, research activity as contributions to andpartnership with stakeholders. In ‘‘Adding to the KnowledgeBase through Research’’, the authors demonstrate their ownexperience and awareness of the knowledge formation processand serve as guides for those who have not traveled on thispath. Their knowledge of institutional connection in this area(e.g., human subject review) is needed by librarians. Institu-tional trends of tight budgets and lean staff demand expansionof other skills in librarians: grant writing, marketing, publicity,and promotion of one’s product. Each of these areas is givensufficient attention for the reader to begin a path to neededdevelopment of information literacy.

The chapters on ‘‘Grant Writing and Grants’’ have a clearexperiential basis, as seen in the accompanying CD-ROM.Items include grant proposals for successful awards. Grassianand Kaplowitz show the advantages - and disadvantages - offunding. The chapter draws a realistic picture for the novicewho looks for funding: sometimes what you wish for you willget and then you need to administer it!

Librarians in this era need new skills. ‘‘Marketing, Publicity,and Promotion’’ offers clear examples of new skills in action.The authors present a wide array of strategies to promoteemerging information literacy people and products.

Key readings are cited in both the chapter bibliographies(‘‘Read More’’) and in the documents on the accompanyingCD-ROM. Tools include proposals, memo forms, and an ILHelp Form, which are valuable models for communication.The book’s bibliography is solid but has older links.

This book is required reading for all who are responsible forinformation literacy instruction and development.—PatriciaO’Brien Libutti, Social Sciences/Education Librarian,Rutgers, the State University, New Brunswick, NJ.

Unlocking the Mysteries of Cataloging provides cataloginginstructors, students, and practitioners with 150 exercisesfeaturing a wide spectrum of cataloging complexities and

peculiarities relevant to the field. The book’s contents cover animpressive array of cataloging scenarios, from the most basicrequirements of monographic cataloging to the intricacies ofcataloging audiovisual materials in a variety of formats. Theauthors even include exercises for cataloging difficult realiaand kit items, such as hand puppets, lab apparati, andboardgames. In addition, readers can access a secure Web siteproviding full MARC records for each exercise. Whilecomplex publishing formats such as series and cartographiccataloging are introduced in a few examples, this workbookdoes not include examples of serials and electronic resourcescataloging.

The absence of these complex areas of cataloging does notmitigate the book’s usefulness, however, as Haynes andFountain have gathered a generous sampling of examples ofthe kinds of items likely to cross the desks of generalistcatalogers who create original copy. The book’s format ispleasing and easy to use, and the examples for cataloging ineach exercise are interesting and contemporary (versions of‘‘The Lord of the Rings’’ in print and on DVD, for example).Relevant chief source information appears in each exercise,including photographs of title pages, t.p. versos, book covers,CDs, DVDs, realia, and commercial packaging. Helpful ‘‘addi-tional information’’ boxes also accompany each example and

include necessary descriptive cataloging information such aspage numbers, whether illustrations are present, physicaldimensions, running time, and the inclusion of bibliographicalreferences and indexes. Examples become more difficult as thebook progresses. In addition, the authors provide usefulcataloging tips unique to each example (e.g., ‘‘Varying titles’’and ‘‘Publisher information’’) as well as references to theAACR2r (2003) rules catalogers need to consult to finish eachexercise. Useful appendices outline genre and form headingsand actual MARC records, respectively. The workbookconcludes with no less than five indexes to help readersnavigate the volume in a number of ways, including by exercisetitle and number, material type, and AACR2r rule numbers.

Unlocking the Mysteries of Cataloging is most useful as asupplement to AACR2r and/or cataloging handbooks such asFritz’s Cataloging with AACR2 and MARC21 (2004). Thisworkbook is also a valuable resource for working catalogers andstudents who require ‘‘real world’’ cataloging examples to aidtheir day-to-day work.—Greg Matthews, Cataloging Librar-ian, Holland and Terrell Libraries, Washington StateUniversi ty, Pullm an, WA 99164-5 610 bgmat@wsu. ed uN .
