Bernadine E. Abbott Hoduski, founder of the American Library Association's Government Documents Round Table (GODORT), could very well be considered the mother of all government documents librarians. Still an active member in the government and library community, her name resonates throughout information circles.

Structured like a memoir, with tips about lobbying interwoven throughout, Lobbying for Libraries is a lively account of one woman's 21-year mission to get funding for libraries to establish systems that improve the way information is distributed nationwide. She offers valuable guidelines on how to lobby as an individual or group, design a bill, communicate with policymakers through traditional and new technologies, and how to influence the legislative process. Hoduski has quilted the fabric of her experiences in policy making into an insightful book that is as entertaining as it is useful.

Truly a worthwhile read for government document librarians, lobbyists, and policy makers.
