When what you did 30 years ago has significant relevance today — how gratifying that can be!

The 30th anniversary edition of my friend Carol Kuhlthau’s book celebrates, as the publisher says, the lasting value and enduring legacy of the Information Search Process (ISP) framework that she devised. The ISP model explained in the first edition of Seeking Meaning: A Process Approach to Library and Information Services dramatically influenced how educators can prepare students, from kindergarten on up, to navigate complex information environments.

The ISP method is even more relevant in today’s “information environments,” so much more complicated than those from 30 years ago.

To quote the publisher, Bloomsbury, “Kuhlthau’s canonical research, accompanied in this anniversary edition by new essays exploring the text’s legacy and continued importance, is required reading for students of library and information science in the United States and abroad and an invaluable resource for anyone providing library and information services.”

Congratulations, Carol!
