Today's tech-savvy teenagers and university students have grown up with internet enabled devices in their hands... That means that in addition to the support they'll get from teachers, parents and school careers leads - websites and apps will increasingly be at the heart of how they choose the next steps in their education as they progress towards the exciting world of work. For many students, Snapchat, Instagram, TikTok, WhatsApp, Twitter and others, are at the heart of how they communicate - but the time comes when they need to gradually transition from 'fun social networking' to 'professional social networking'. It means building new online communication skills and learning how to project themselves to future employers in the best possible light.

Cathy Thompson - Careers Adviser, St Peter's Catholic School, Guildford. Career Development Institute's Careers Educator of the Year 2013." Philip has come into speak to my Year 12 BTEC students on two occasions. He helped greatly on the social media plan that they were developing. He has a great depth of knowledge and is able to relate this clearly to the students. He provided a valuable insight into the real world application of social media use in business which was supplemented with up to date examples. He answered questions in a straight forward and easy to understand way that really helped the students with their coursework." Steve Copeland - ICT teacher at St Peter's Catholic School, Guildford

The development and promotion of appropriate services for students with disabilities has been an integral part of the academic library since the 1990s. There remains, however, a dearth of literature—in marketing, library and information science, and other disciplines—that applies quality assessment instruments to existing programs. With this in mind, Hernon and Calvert present two versions of a data collection instrument, designed to compare the expectations of special students with their perceptions of how well a given service met their needs. Descriptions of successful initiatives at a variety of academic libraries are also included. Adaptive technologies. Anti-discrimination laws. Equity and compliance issues. In-house policies (and politics). All of these support, in one form or another, the development and promotion of appropriate services for students with physical, learning, or, increasingly, psychological disabilities. But what of service quality? To date, there is a dearth of literature—in marketing, library and information science, and other disciplines—that applies quality assessment instruments to programs for special student populations. Not until now has anyone compared the expectations of such students with their perceptions of how well a given service meets their needs. Peter Hernon, Philip Calvert, and their colleagues—Kathleen Rogers, Todd K. Herriott, and Ava Gibson—discuss the circumstances affecting services for the disabled, and provide two versions of a data collection instrument, loosely based on SERVQUAL, that individual institutions can modify to reflect their particular needs and situations. International in scope, it incorporates the perspective of university attorneys and compliance officers, as well as descriptions of successful initiatives by senior library administrators in the U. S. (Larry Hardesty, Rush G. Miller, Sarah Hamrick, and Jennifer Lann) and New Zealand (Helen Renwick, Philip Jane, and John Redmayne.) Improving the Quality of Library Services for Students with Disabilities will assist libraries and other service components of academic institutions to adopt a proactive position, as well as challenge staff assumptions of service expectations and information needs.
