Different questions in objective mode have been properly classified in the normal sub-divisions. Utmost care has been taken in providing correct solutions for the questions. However, any suggestions and submissions for further improvement are welcome from the experts in the field. I hope that the book will act not only as a question bank on the subject but also be a good tool for appearing in the interviews. In the end, the authors are very much grateful to our respected wife Mrs. T. Pandeeswari, (Computer Teacher, T.P.N.M. School, in Virudhunagar) for giving inspiration and guidance, when the authors started the work of writing books.

This book was released on 2010-07-26 with total page 349 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This text provides an overview of major critical theorists from across disciplines—including the humanities, social sciences, and education—that discusses the importance of these critical perspectives for the advancement of LIS research and scholarship. The practical application of library and information science is based upon 75 years of critical theory and thought. Therefore, it is essential for students and faculty in LIS to be familiar with the work of a wide range of critical theorists. The aim of Critical Theory for Library and Information Science: Exploring the Social from Across the Disciplines is to provide a comprehensive introduction to the critical theorists important to the LIS audience, and to give insights into how such theory can be incorporated into actual LIS research and practice. This book consists of chapters on individual critical theorists ranging from Aglietta to Habermas to Spivak, written by an international group of library and information science scholars. Each chapter provides an overview of the theoretical stance and contributions of the theorist, as well as relevant critical commentary. This book will be particularly valuable as a reference text of core readings for those pursuing doctoral or masters level degrees in LIS.
