Description
"Collection Development" is a compilation of 20 papers that explore the assumption that mission affects policy. To what extent do the unique features and mission of the small college library create distinctive concerns for it? The papers presented here demonstrate an alternative to the assumption that what works in large university libraries will also work in small ones. The focus is on the heart of the library, its collections, and the special ways in which these collections are developed and maintained. The contributors concentrate on such topics as the unique characteristics of college libraries, means for effective collection development, roles of faculty, trends in collection development and emerging issues.
