摘要
Now more than ever, librarians need good communication skills. They are no longer unseen collectors, classifiers, and cultural guardians. Information professionals are doing more public speaking at conferences, in meetings, classes, book talks and countless other situations, but many of them dislike, even fear, the thought of getting up in front of a group of people and giving a presentation.
Librarians and other information professionals can find in this work help in overcoming their hesitation. Part one offers basic principles for better speech preparation and delivery, discussing such topics as the importance of good listening skills to being a good speaker, doing the necessary research beforehand, applying organizational skills to a presentation, engaging an audience, practicing a presentation before actually giving it, and putting oneself at ease, among others. Part Two discusses the specific situations in which librarians often have to communicate, including interviews, interpersonal communication, library instruction, meetings and presentations to large groups.

One of the core competencies for librarians today is communication skills. This quotation from Maggie Weaver opens Statz's book. In two sections, The Speaking Process and The Speaking Environment, Statz shares her own and others' experiences with public-speaking interaction. She does not promise to make it easy but rather to help librarians find their own voices. The Speaking Process is a textbook of the principles of preparation and delivery. These chapters focus on listening as well as speaking. The Speaking Environment discusses specific situations such as interviewing, instruction, meetings, and presentations. Appendixes of professional interviews, software tips, and bibliographic references make this a book that could be used in a teaching situation or as a reference for the professional shelf in any library. -- RBB Copyright 2003 Booklist

When I was a grad student at Harvard Divinity School, I told a professor that I thought an acting course or at least a public speaking course should be required for all prospective preachers so they would learn that sermons, homilies, prayers, poems, etc., are not all given in the same tone nor at the same speed. Statz, a library assistant in the Madison Public Library system (WI) and a freelance indexer, attempts to cover for librarians and information professionals both the speaking role and the speaking environment. The 11 chapters, which are divided into two parts, each includes a summary, and Part 2 (chapters 7-11) gives suggested further readings. There are two appendixes, the first being a series of interviews with library professionals (the word professional is not defined), while the second consists of a speaker's bookshelf, i.e., an overview of sources that the author has used in her public speaking efforts. From meetings to formal presentations, book talks, library tours, interviewing, this work would be a good jumping-off point for those who think they'll never have to speak in public and/or those who dread doing so.-B.
