 Clear, concise, essential
By David Dodd
Minow and Lipinski have crafted a guide for librarians who need guidance in what might seem to be a hopeless quagmire of potential legal entangelements. Its establishment is clear, and an magnificent index provides good access to it is contents. Most important, perhaps, is the clear and unintimidating style of the writing.
Some subsections transcend the “library” in the title, and would be utile for any person a) designing a website; b) working to provide access to resources for persons with disabilities; or c) employing staff. Journalists covering library issues will find it to be a utile reference as well.

All you ever wanted to know…
By Karen Dyer
Ms. Minow and Mr. Lipinski have written a very thorough, exceedingly readable volume on a tough topic–libraries and the law. In these times, both patrons and those active in the library world need to recognise the info in this book.
Written in an engaging question and answer format, the book is like reading newspaper questions to the editor with responses!
All of us fit in the patron and/or library world categories (right?) and, therefore, I highly commend this book to everyone. As a person who falls into both categories, I learned a lot–and, with no pain! Five stars.
