Synopsis
A flurry of controversy erupts whenever anyone comes up with a "best book" list. Libraries face challenges in selecting a nucleus of best books, while making sure their "best of" are actually used by library customers. This handbook offers step-by-step instructions on not only how to build a core collection from scratch but also how to maintain and revitalize an existing collection. Building on the basics, it offers advice on developing a collection policy statement, selecting user-appropriate sources and ultimately serving your constituency with the best possible collection.
