Loading... Developing library and information center collectionsby G. Edward Evans
   None No current Talk conversations about this book. libraries,information management  russwood | Mar 31, 2013 |  Really unevenly written - some chapters are wonderfully clear and concise, and others meander all over the place. Also somewhat outdated at this point - unless you really feel your library should have a big collection of CD ROMs. (  ) flemmily | Dec 14, 2009 | The Call Number in CU Library is Z687.E92 2005. I have read up to and including page 33 as at (Tue)14-7-2009.  lbpks | May 31, 2009 | This series of books all run along the same line - they are good basic books that do no go overly deeply into the subject matter. As someone who has no personal experience working in libraries, I found some good information in this book, perhaps more than other books in this series, but still not quite enough to justify the textbook level price. I think that this book would be far too remedial to be of much value for someone who has worked in a library already. (  ) reellis67 | Sep 18, 2008 | The fifth edition of this textbook is actually quite readable (some chapters more than others) and at times interesting, and the information presented is clear.

 "[A] wonderful resource that every student should keep in their professional library and refer to as issues pop up during their career. … Personally, I am going to keep my copy close by and continue to double-check my own understanding of issues."  "Though the book seeks to bring into play some detail of collection development, its real value is in its function as an overview … drawing a general picture of this important area of librarianship for novice students in library science. Thus, the Evans/Saponaro text is an excellent starting place to be supplemented in the classroom …" Belongs to Series

The book covers all phases of collection development-from needs assessment, policies, and the selection process (theory and practice) to publishers, serials, protection, legal issues, and censorship and intellectual freedom. Each chapter has been expanded and updated with new material and reading lists. In addition, a chapter that is new to this edition deals with e-serials; and two appendixes contain samples of policies related to electronic concerns.
