Books by Peter Jordan

This book explores the role of place names in the formation and maintenance of individual and group identities in multilingual and multi-ethnic situations. The book contextualises both places within their social and political histories, and probes recent debates in the social sciences relating to place names, identity and power.

The many recent changes in higher and further education mean that it is more important than ever to analyse the needs of academic library users, and both promote and provide the service they require.

This title addresses changes in the environment surrounding libraries and information units. It draws on recent research, especially in the areas of staff motivation, job satisfaction, training and development, and workforce planning.

This text considers the influences and demands on academic libraries, and explains how to increase user satisfaction through quality management. It examines the needs of different user groups, and the requirements of subject communities, as well as those of teaching staff.
