Certain books deserve a permanent place on my professional bookshelf, as essential go-to resources for my library career. One title that I keep readily accessible is the
ALA Glossary of Library and Information Science (fourth edition, published by the American Library Association in August 2013). Whatever the profession, there is terminology and jargon that marks the user as an “insider,” and the library as a workplace is not immune from this tendency. Plus, given the dynamic and ever-changing field, there is always something new to learn. But with the
ALA Glossary, I can quickly look up library terms and functions.
