Developing library and information center collections

Description:

"Provides practical information on materials producers and distributors, community survey techniques, policies, materials selection, acquisition, weeding, collection protection, and evaluation in order to minimize the variables involved in the selection process. Also explores library cooperation, copyright, and censorship as they affect library collection development. As might be expected, the fourth edition is heavily inflected by electronic developments, and though longer than all previous editions, has deleted some material. Every chapter is followed by a summary, suggested readings and list of relevant websites". Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR.
