Summary: | An international biographical dictionary of national archivists, documentalists and librarians. This new edition furthers the goals of the first in providing a base for further communication and co-operation among people in national institutions whose efforts are directed to handling information for the purposes of preservation and distribution. Added to it are entries for countries, institutions, and persons not previously represented. It attempts to provide an international perspective on three distinct information professionals and focuses on the national administrators - who they are and where they are - and does not attempt to describe the collections or services of their organizations extensively.
