Review
"Public librarians and staff with collection development responsibilities would benefit most from this book, but those in other types of libraries would benefit as well. It is a well-rounded text about collection development and many basic principles, such as collection assessment and evaluation, collection development policies, budgets, selecting for your unique audience, utilizing reviews and reviewing sources, and mending and preserving. It would also serve as a good textbook for an introductory collection development library course. I would recommend this book to librarians and staff with little to no experience in collection development, librarians and staff needing a refresher course on collection development, and library school students." - Technical Services Quarterly
"This text fulfills its objectives well. . . . This book will enable the nascent collection development librarian to get started selecting, ordering, evaluating, budgeting, marketing, and asking good questions of colleagues." - Technicalities
