More About This Book

Editorial Reviews

Library Journal
Last revised in 1995, this comprehensive collection development textbook has been updated to "reflect the changing environment of collection management," particularly in the area of electronic resources. Because of the necessity of keeping the final book to a reasonable length, materials from earlier editions are now for the first time available on the Internet. In particular, what had been Chapter 4 ("Selection Process: Theory") and two appendixes--"Book and Electronic Collection Policies" and the International Coalition of Library Consortia (ICOLC) "Statement of Current Perspective and Preferred Practices for the Selection and Purchase of Electronic Information"--can be found at lib.lmu.edu/dlc4 and www.lu.com.--WWW Copyright 2000 Cahners Business Information.\
Booknews
Provides students and practitioners of library and information science with a broad understanding of collection development and its importance in the library. Covers all phases of the collection development process, in a lively, conversational style, looking at areas such as filtering software, serials, and legal concerns. This edition incorporates more material on electronic resources. Chapters dropped from this edition can be accessed on a web site. Evans is university librarian at Loyola Marymount University. Zarnosky is associate director of the learning resource center at Northern Virginia Community College. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
