About the author

Lisa K. Hopkins and Helene Williams, Volume Editors

Philosophy has an extensive history that spans more than two millennia. Today, the study of philosophy reaches into various academic fields from the humanities to the sciences and is informed by multi- and transcultural reflections. Because of philosophy’s all-encompassing breadth and depth, the subject matter can be intimidating to anyone without an advanced degree in the field. George J. Aulisio’s Sudden Selector’s Guide to Philosophy Resources endeavors to provide a better understanding of the world of philosophy to its readers. This guide is for any academic librarian committed to learning more about the study of philosophy and the philosophical community, including its various questions, methodologies, focuses, and idiosyncrasies. In addition to learning about philosophy, readers will also learn to develop and manage a comprehensive philosophy collection supported by effective research and user services strategies.
