Addresses the art of controlling and updating your library's collection. Discussions of the importance and logistics of electronic resources are integrated throughout the book.
The second edition of this manual for developing a library collection has been revised to explain how new technologies in electronic media are both logical and important in order to remain a competitive resource for information in the 21st century. Johnson (library science, U. of Minnesota) uses each chapter to explain a particular theory or responsibility behind collection management such as budgeting, policymaking, activity planning and standards for selection. Additional tips for librarians are offered on the subject of theft and damage, serial cancellations, storage, weeding out unproductive titles and developing ties with the community.
