New Technology Terms for Librarians. ISBN: 0-9675942-1-9

Standard computer dictionaries and encyclopedias do not provide sufficient coverage of new technology terms for librarians, especially for the library-specific terms. This handbook brings together common computer terms and acronyms frequently used in libraries. In addition to genereal computer terms such as ASCII and HTML, this book covers terms used mostly by librarians as MARC field 856 and Z39.50. For the computer and information specialists who work in or for the library, the basic library terms, such as bibliographic utility and AACR2R, are also included. Contents will be continually updated at http://NewTechnologyPress.com/updates/terms.html.
