Critics Review

‘If you are teaching data science then all your students should be made aware of this book. When it comes to organisations. I can’t see any reason for not making sure that anyone managing an Excel data base has a copy to refer to…. Excellent value for the price’
-Martin White, Informer

‘I gained many practical tips for using a spreadsheet to clean data, and alternate ways of approaching classification while reading this book - there is hope for cleaner data!’
- Mary Silvia Whittaker, SLA Taxonomy


‘I have rarely found such a brilliant argument about the importance of COAT - the overall approach to the management of data. The author approaches all her topics with palpable humour and presents them in lively and attractive style. A relevant acquisition for business information departments or their equivalents in public libraries as much as putting it on the desks of the people dealing with all kinds of business data.’

Elena Maceviciute, Swedish School of Library and Information Science
