Annotation This volume summarises the most important and up-to date theory of abstracting, in addition to giving advice and examples on writing different kinds of abstracts. It discusses the length, functions and basic structure of abstracts, outlining a new approach to informative and indicative abstracts. It is designed to assist specialist researchers who work, and publish, in different fields, but also write author abstracts and is an ideal resource for those interested in library and information science and information literacy.
