The comment that ASIST members voted for their own chapters is completely off the mark. The judging for best book in ASIST is not done by popular vote -- a jury reviews all the nominated, eligible books in a given year and chooses among them.
The University of Maryland is a proud owner of ELIS-3, and the content of the chapters will not become dated quickly; I have used quite a few already in my classes as excellent introductions to particular topics.

Well these were probably the authors voting for their own
chapters.
