Description
Wilson's Public Library Core Collection: Nonfiction (19th Edition, 2023) is designed for acquisitions librarians, reference librarians and cataloguers. Public Library Core Collection: Nonfiction is a reliable guide to building and maintaining a well-rounded collection of the most highly recommended reference and nonfiction books for adults.
The Core Collection is intended to serve the needs of public and undergraduate libraries and stand as a basic or "opening day" collection. The newer titles help in identifying areas that can be updated or strengthened. Retention of useful material from the previous edition enables the librarian to make informed decisions about weeding a collection.
This edition continues to emphasize equity, diversity, and inclusion, representing and reflecting a varied community in which many voices can be heard. Significant weeding is undertaken to ensure that older, outdated books are removed in favour of more relevant recommendations.
With more than 14,000 nonfiction titles appropriate to general adult readers as well as reference books and a selection of professional materials of use to librarians and library administrators, this 18th edition contains both new titles that reflect new topics of interest or new interpretations of traditional knowledge as well as older titles - sometimes in updated versions - that remain the best in their field.
