For 37 years, since Carlos Cuadra edited the first volume in 1966, it has provided expert overviews of current developments in information science and technology. I was a keen user in those early days; the first five volumes included chapters on 'information needs and uses' (by Menzel, Herner, Paisley, Allen and Lipetz) which provided invaluable help to a young researcher. If it wasn't exactly standing on the shoulders of giants, it was certainly an opportunity to enjoy the perspectives of expert reviewers and to avoid much of the digging and sifting that would otherwise have been required.
