Sommario/riassunto

This insightful book shows you how to deal with an issue as old as the library profession: interacting with problem patrons. It looks at this fact of life that affects almost every facet of library work and provides practical solutions--some developed within the field and some borrowed from other professions--that will improve reference services for those you serve and make the work of your library staff less stressful, more productive, and increasingly meaningful.</br></br>Helping the Difficult Library Patron: New Approaches to Examining and Resolving a Long-Standing and Ongoing Problem exami
